Shimadzu Scientific Instruments has introduced Seqlab de-novo sequencing software for use with the Axima line of Maldi mass spectrometers.
The software uses a high-power de-novo sequencing engine, MS/MS and possible related MS/MS/MS data to help decipher peptide sequences.
With Seqlab, researchers can use MS/MS data to find high-quality de-novo sequences and tags for peptides from low- or high-energy CID MS/MS data, including data from the Axima Performance, Shimadzu's TOF/TOF.
Additionally, Seqlab uses related MS/MS/MS data, which provides more information and completes the sequence across the length of the peptide.
Seqlab's capabilities are fully realised when used in combination with the Axima Resonance, the Maldi QIT TOF mass spectrometer from Shimadzu.
The Axima Resonance provides high mass accuracy tandem mass spectrometric data, which enhances the success of de-novo sequencing.
