What Is the Matrix Enhancement Effect? Matrix effects arise when non-target compounds (e.g., pigments, sugars, or fatty acids) in a sample alter the ionization efficiency of pesticides during GC-MS analysis. For example: False Positives: Matrix components may mimic pesticide signals. Read more…

Battling Bacterial Infections Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a deadly antibiotic-resistant pathogen, uses lectins like LecA and LecB to attach to host cells. FP assays have been pivotal in screening inhibitors that block these interactions: LecA: Requires 10–15 µM protein due to low-affinity Read more…
