This paper was a huge team effort and I could not be more grateful to have worked on such a supportive team for this work. Hopefully this paper serves as an exciting primer for ones that cover the main outcomes of my PhD! (in-situ coming soon!) 4/🧵

Importantly, we assess specificity, precision, robustness and quantification limits to really highlight the power of SIMS as a tool for heparin screening in comparison to existing methods 3/🧵

Building on previous work from the lab (tinyurl.com/mr2u695k), we've expanded the number of GAGs that SIMS can discriminate, including heparin contamination up to a sensitivity of 0.001% weight in picograms of material, in spectra acquired in as little as 60 seconds 2/🧵
High sensitivity analysis of nanogram quantities of glycosaminoglycans using ToF-SIMS - Communications Chemistry
Glycosaminoglycans are an important class of carbohydrates, but pose substantial analytical challenges. Here ToF-SIMS combined with multivariate analysis distinguishes six classes of glycosaminoglycans, including distinguishing heparin samples from different animal sources at a sensitivity as low as 0.001 wt%

Glad it lived up to the hype 🤪 thanks for a great day!! (& fun samples!)
