Experimentation Tools in Mass Spectrometry consists of Diagnostic and Cancer Biomarker Discovery Tool, Potential of metabolomics as a functional genomics tool, the age of the proteome in proteomics. Mass spectrometric analysis of biological samples has increasingly entailed direct analysis of complex protein mixtures, often with the objective of detailed characterization of the various components. This trend toward ever greater sample complexity has been enabled and in turn driven by the rapid development of powerful mass spectrometric tools. A general characteristic of recent mass spectrometers is that most are composed of a sequence of multiple mass analysers with different strengths and properties, resulting in tandem instruments that possess capabilities unattainable by the individual components can combine high mass accuracy with high-speed measurement, greatly facilitating the analysis of complex mixtures. This option is advantageous when speed and accuracy are crucial for the success of analysis, as it is, for example, when the mass spectrometer is coupled on-line to an HPLC system
