Application


  • New Method Based on the Direct Analysis in Real Time Coupled with Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry to Investigate the Thermal Depolymerization of Poly(methyl methacrylate).: This research presents a novel analytical technique that could be relevant for studying the thermal behavior of methyl isobutyrate in various industrial applications (Al Khulaifi et al., 2023).

  • Diagnosis and prognosis of COVID-19 employing analysis of patients′ plasma and serum via LC-MS and machine learning.: While focused on COVID-19, the study utilizes analytical methods that are applicable to the detection of complex esters such as methyl isobutyrate in biological samples (de Fátima Cobre et al., 2022).
