In mass spectrometry (MS), workflows are being streamlined and analyses are becoming more sophisticated. In short, MS is becoming faster, easier to use, and more functional. This is welcome news for proteomics and metabolomics researchers.

As upstream workflows are automated and as barriers to interpretation fall, MS becomes accessible even for smaller laboratories. Instruments are being designed for high-throughput analysis and enhanced sensitivity.
