Paul Huang, graduate student in biological engineering, left, and Professor Forest White of biological engineering with a mass spectrometer showing the electrospray ionization tip of a liquid chromatography column. Samples are loaded on the column and electrosprayed into the mass spectrometer, where their mass and sequence is identified, allowing White and Huang to analyze the sample.
