We're packing our bags and getting excited for SGMS 2025! 🏔️

See you in the mountains! 👋

Rare mountain creature post :) I thought it's time to splash hiking pics again from several huts in Switzerland: Planurahütte, Panossière and Wildhorn 🇨🇭

This makes robust analysis more critical than ever.

Some new alpine adventures :)
I visited the Planurahütte in #switzerland
Here are some impressions!

Headed to Metabolomics 2025 in Prague? Let's talk sample prep! The old adage "garbage in, garbage out" is the rule in metabolomics. Your data's quality depends on it.

Say hi if you are at the @asms.org in Baltimore! I will be there this week to talk about automation, metabolomics and sample prep! #TeamMassSpec

Saturday crazy hike 😁 Rain edition but with lots of animals! From 7 Hengste to the Niederhorn and then descending to beatenberg 🥾⛰️ Check it out 😉 #switzerland @myswitzerland.bsky.social @standseilbahnen.bsky.social

#PFAS noise got you down? 🧪 "Forever chemicals" are everywhere! Our Newsroom dives into tackling background contamination in #sample #prep & #analysis. Get clean results! ➡️ https://www.palsystem.com/en/newsroom/news/pfas-free-consumables/

Today I spent lots of time on public transport...but it was worth it 😄 I visited Corno Gries in pristine weather conditions. Crazy cool snow shoe hike and sac hut. @myswitzerland.bsky.social

Prof. Philipp Mayer (DTU) shares insights on environmental contaminants & biodegradation. His work tackles PFAS & complex mixtures, driving crucial research. Read the interview: https://www.palsystem.com/en/newsroom/news/interview-professore-philipp-mayer/

Hay fever got you down? 🤧 Not yet?
Scientists are now using wastewater to track allergy trends! 🧪 A new study found a link between pollen counts and antihistamine levels in wastewater. 🌳💊 ➡️ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048969725001494#s0010

That was such a fun collaboration!
Check out the work around this automated MALDI TOF MS workflow. There is a cool video as well as the application note! #teammassspec #bacteriaID #automation

This was a super fun afternoon at JAG robotics. We set up the two robots in no time and we all got excited about how easy it was. It would be fun to implement this further!

Gemmipass is as stunning as always.

Metabolomics & the future of medicine! Dr. Gernot Poschet discusses precision therapies, automation, and the challenges of core facilities in our latest interview. Read it here: https://www.palsystem.com/en/newsroom/news/interview-gernot-poschet-heidelberg/  #Metabolomics #TeamMassSpec #Automation

Another day another hike! Brisenhaus 2.0 but this time it felt like a spring hike rather than a winter hike compared to last week. Halfway through I put my snowshoes away :)

Thanks to all the collaborators who contributed to this work. Special thanks to @hi-hagen.bsky.social and @pal-system.bsky.social for releasing the application note, which will shed light on the impact of sample preparation #automation in life sciences, specifically in GC #metabolomics.

DBS just got easier! 🩸 Our new automated derivatization protocol streamlines metabolomics analysis for dried blood spots, serum, & plasma. Faster, more reproducible results! Learn more: https://www.palsystem.com/en/newsroom/news/blood-analysis-recetox/ #metabolomics #DBS #automation

Hello #Bern

Up at 6 for a 4-hour snowshoe adventure! ❄️ Fresh powder from Beckenried to Maria Rickenbach. Lunch in a cloud. Still magical. #snowshoeing #swissalps #winterwonderland

Big news in clinical proteomics!
A new study investigated how well we can analyze proteins in blood using mass spectrometry (MS). Results were consistent across labs and time points! #proteomics #clinicalresearch #reproducibility #TeamMassSpec

Do you know Südrampe?
Always super nice and usually some cool encounters. :)

Between caffeine runs & data crunching, don't forget your ASMS abstract! ☕
Deadline: Feb 7th.
Let the PAL System handle the lab work while you focus on that submission. 😉 #ASMS2025 #TeamMassSpec

Anyone got any more swiss institutes, universities and Fachhochschulen?
#swiss #academia

Cool! Let's spread the word and add to the list. #academicsky #TeamMassSpec #science #academicchatter

Happy hiking to the Lämmerenhütte :)

That's a view!

Since the weather was brilliant we got up early and headed to Lauterbrunnen.

📍Lobhornhütte #switzerland

Saturday hike ✅ This time around 17km with snow shoes in brilliant conditions :)
