Numerous suppliers are already developing products -- from labeling
chemistries to sophisticated software -- to meet the needs of this emerging
market, which is predicted to grow among both current and future mass
spectrometer users. While HPLC is the sample preparation
protocol used most frequently by those surveyed, a handful of key MS
applications such as protein digest analysis and multi-protein complex
characterizations rely on more manual and labor intensive preps. Scientists
conducting these analyses predominately utilize protein digestion and 1-D/2-D
gels plus protein digestion, respectively, to prepare their samples --

Is ethical truth something absolute and fixed for all time, in the same way that 2+2=4 will always be true, or is it historically and culturally specific - or is there no such thing as 'ethical truth' at all? What is the precise meaning of the word 'ought'? These sorts of questions fall under the scope of Metaethics.
