Big Data Biology - Agilent Helps Researchers Quickly Gather Vast Array Of Details
John A. McLean, Ph.D. Department of Chemistry Vanderbilt University Nashville, T ennessee John McLean is part of a paradigm shift in biology. Call it big data biology. Dr. McLean and his team at Vanderbilt are using Agilent’s 6560 Ion Mobility Q-TOF LC/MS system to gather details of 50,000 molecules a minute in untargeted experiments. Details about proteins, lipids, sugars, peptides—it’s all in there. McLean describes his team’s approach a
