About
Brian Musselman is a leading figure in the development of ambient ionization mass spectrometry, with a particular focus on advancing Direct Analysis in Real Time (DART) technology. His research centers on creating high-throughput, automated analytical workflows that eliminate or drastically simplify traditional sample preparation. A key contribution is his work on integrating Solid-Phase Microextraction (SPME) with DART-MS, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2018 study on the rapid extraction and detection of drugs in urine. This approach, which enables parallel sampling from multiple fibers, significantly accelerates analysis without sacrificing sensitivity. Musselman has also been instrumental in pioneering automated sample introduction systems for DART, as seen in his 2014 work on enabling automated analysis. By tackling the bottleneck of manual sample handling, his innovations have made real-time, high-volume chemical screening more practical for applications ranging from forensic toxicology to pharmaceutical quality control. His contributions are foundational to the evolution of DART-MS from a novel technique into a robust, high-throughput analytical tool.
