"Using a
method called mass spectrometry
to identify chemicals, scientists
can trap a poison-wielding
murderer, pinpoint leaks in the
international space station, or
deduce the diets of ancient
cave-dwellers. A site called
i-mass.com is
dedicated to mass spectrometry,
which uses an electromagnetic
field to "weigh" the contents of
a sample. Offerings include news
briefs gleaned from technical and
popular publications, tip-offs to
valuable journal articles, links
to labs, and the all-important
jobs list."

"This is a great
site !"

"Excellent site,
very clearly and compactly
organized and
presented."

"Mass
Spectrometry may not sound like
the most exciting scientific
venture. Luckily for us
ignoramuses, the Internet has a
web site which shows we got it
all wrong. (i-mass.com) is a good
site for highlighting the
importance of the field in
astronomy, chemistry, biology,
and many other sciences. Mass
spectrometry is based on a simple
(but originally rather esoteric)
concept ... to analyze gases and
chemical compounds by measuring
ions in electric and magnetic
fields. (i-mass.com) does a good
job when it comes to explaining
what we need this technology for,
including the history of mass
spectrometry, famous people,
quotes, and a book list. There
are feature articles every month
which shows the many uses of mass
spectrometry"
Tormod Guldvog, New Scientist
"
i-mass.com is an extremely
comprehensive web site focusing
on mass spectrometry news and
developments. Each month, journal
articles and features are
provided, together with the
latest news, career
opportunities, historical
information and conference
details. Links to many key
journals are provided, alongside
pointers to mass spectrometry
research laboratories,
manufacturers, companies and
university departments "

"This looks like a
very good site . . . I think it
will generate healthy interest in
the fascinating field of mass
spectrometry and provide good
enrichment materials for
educators and students. Well
Done."
Michael Guilhaus, University of
New South Wales, Australia
"COOL SITE ! Our
listing would be in your Parts,
Components, Accessories
section."

" A
truly international mass
spectrometry web resource which
receives hits from thousands of
web users interested in mass
spectrometry every week"

"the
"one-stop shop" for persons
interested in mass
spectrometry"

" This is a very interesting site
which I will be coming back to
often."
Anthony Sullivan,
UMIST Centre for Mass
Spectrometry, U.K.
"i-mass.com is an international
mass spectrometry Web resource.
It features news and feature
articles related to mass
spectrometry, gleans important
updates from scientific journals,
and provides conference and
career links. This month's
features include a piece about
organic molecules hitchhiking
aboard a comet, an abstract on
using mass spectrometry to image
tissue, and program highlights
from last month's American
Society for Mass Spectrometry
(ASMS) conference in Chicago.
Researchers and professors in
physical chemistry, biochemistry,
or any discipline using mass
spectrometry should have a look
at i-mass.com. "
