Advances in mass spectrometry technology over the past 30 years have pushed this technique into the hands of biologists and biochemists, and led to a host of new applications. It is a technique used to measure the characteristic of a sample or molecule i.e., chemical composition and structure. Mass spectrometry represents a powerful technique with a myriad of different applications in biology, chemistry, and physics, but also in clinical medicine and even space exploration. Mass spectrometry has emerged as an indispensable method for the characterization and sequencing of different proteins. In short, mass spectrometry is becoming very prominent in all sorts of clinical and other research endeavors. Thus a basic grasp of the technology is necessary to understand all the possible productive interactions.
