✦ Synopsis
Abstract
The analysis of deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA) by mass spectrometry (MS) has evolved to where it can be used to analyze most known types of DNA and ribose nucleic acid (RNA) situations. It can efficiently deal with the analysis of DNA polymorphisms, sequences, haplotypes, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing, DNA methylation and RNA expression. Implementations of MS for these forms of DNA analyses are reviewed. The use of DNA analysis by MS is compared with competing technologies. Finally, an overview is given of worthwhile applications where the know‐how gained so far could be used for future developments. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The method of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry, one of the oldest instrumental methods of analysis, dates its origins to the beginning of this century. The method has gone through many significant changes since then, including the advent of field-portable systems 30 years ago. The desire to bri
