Towards an Integrated In-Situ Biosignature Detection Suite for Space Missions: Miniaturized MS, CE/LC-MS, Biosensors, Nanopore Sensing, and Standoff Spectroscopy
To the point
Detecting life beyond Earth will require a compact, integrated set of instruments that combines liquid-phase separations with detection, mass spectrometry, biosensors, nanopore sensing, and remote spectroscopy, together with automated sample preparation and rigorous validation, because no single technique can identify all biosignatures across different worlds.
