Instrumentation

Bruker timsTOF Pro2 with nanoElute UPLC

~quantitative proteomics~

A timed ion mobility quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer enabling exceptional detection and sensitivity for quantitative proteomics workflows. Single-shot applications using fast (high-throughput) or traditional (deep coverage) nanoflow gradients. Ideal for stable isotope label (e.g. SILAC) or label-free (peptide peak area) quantitative proteomics workflows. Parallel search engine in real time (PaSER) provides comprehensive qualitative results for immediate feedback on experimental results, sample integrity, or sytems suitability.
