LC/MS and Software Solutions for Your Metabolomic Studies

Metabolomic studies cover a broad variety of analyte chemistries and require various analysis needs to tease out the impactful information.

This talk will focus on the latest tools for a metabolomics lab to answer your research questions with ease. These include sample preparation methods and automation, LC/MS approaches, targeted and untargeted data analysis techniques, and chemometrics. Emphasis will be given to hardware workflow solutions that can easily be transferred to a new lab and that utilize intuitive software tools.

Presenter: Karen Yannell (LC/MS Application Engineer, Agilent Technologies, Inc.)

Karen E. Yannell is a LC/MS Application Engineer at Agilent Technologies. She is an expert in small molecule high throughput analysis by triple quadrupole (TQ) and quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF) mass spectrometry for applied markets. Her recent work has focused on developing routine Q-TOF workflows for both expert and non-expert users alike. Previously, Karen worked on forensic, metabolomics, and biomarker discovery applications with ambient ionization sources. She received her PhD in Analytical Chemistry from Purdue University where studied under the advisement of Prof. R. Graham Cooks. Outside of the laboratory, she enjoys cooking unique dishes and hiking along the beach with her dog.
