Less than four months after introducing important new core Tribrid and triple quadrupole liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) platforms built to transform customers’ work with unprecedented performance and ease of use, Thermo Fisher Scientific introduces two additional systems designed to advance intact protein analysis and “quanfirmation.” The new technology will be displayed at the 12th HUPO World Congress at the Pacifico Yokohama in booth 51 from Sept. 14-18, 2013. New technology launched at HUPO includes:
- Extended Mass Range (EMR) option for the Thermo Scientific Exactive Plus LC-MS: Proteomics scientists now have a powerful new tool for challenging high resolution accurate mass (HRAM) intact protein analysis such as investigating the structure, topology and architecture of targets. These include impurities in monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, PEGylated proteins, oligomerized protein-based drugs, glycoforms and protein assemblies.
- Thermo Scientific Q Exactive Plus LC-MS: The mass spectrometry community first learned about “quanfirmation” (the ability to characterize, quantify and confirm a molecule using one instrument) in 2011 with the debut of the Thermo Scientific Q Exactive hybrid LC-MS. Now, the company is introducing the second generation of this benchtop hybrid HRAM instrument, the Thermo Scientific Q Exactive Plus LC-MS to further increase performance for applications such as bottom-up proteomics, lipidomics and high-confidence DMPK qual/quan screening studies.
