At the 18th Annual International Mass Spectrometry Conference (IMSC) Thermo Fisher Scientific is showcasing a variety of mass spectrometry solutions for improved analytical performance.
During the conference, which is taking place from 30 August to 4 September in Bremen, Germany, the company will demonstrate its products on booth A+1 within Messe Bremen Hall 4.1.
Thermo Fisher will feature mass spectrometry solutions for proteomics, drug discovery, biomarker research, food safety, environmental analysis, toxicology, forensics, climate research and many more industries and applications.
Featured Thermo Scientific hardware technologies at IMSC include the LTQ Velos ion trap mass spectrometer.
Dual-pressure ion trap technology enables optimal pressures during analysis, increasing both scan speed and resolution.
This provides greater coverage in the analysis of complex peptide mixtures and improves protein identification at low sample levels.
The LTQ Orbitrap Velos hybrid mass spectrometer uses HCD cell technology to provide improved quantitation of isobarically-labelled peptides.
Electron Transfer Dissociation (ETD) generates complementary information for highly sensitive PTM analyses and de novo sequencing.
The Exactive benchtop LC-MS system and its companion Pathfinder software are designed for high-throughput and high-performance screening and compound identification applications.
Using Orbitrap technology, Exactive offers resolutions of up to 100,000 for precise mass identification.
TSQ Vantage is a triple-stage quadrupole mass spectrometer.
Ion optics deliver up to 10 times more sensitivity than previous optics, without a commensurate increase in noise.
For the quantitative analysis of small molecules, peptides, biosimilars, and biologics, the Thermo Scientific TSQ Vantage delivers high sensitivity with low noise.
The TSQ Quantum GC mass spectrometer has the ability to define up to 3,000 unique SRM transitions per run, which makes it suited to multi-component target compound analysis.
Simultaneous quantitation and structural confirmation are provided via Quantitation-Enhanced Data-Dependent MS/MS (QED-MS/MS).
TSQ Quantum Access Max triple-stage quadrupole mass spectrometer with Tracefinder software is a complete workflow solution for food and environmental safety testing.
This system performs library matching, structural confirmation and quantitation of hundreds of compounds in an experiment.
When the MAT 253 isotope ratio mass spectrometer is coupled to the Kiel IV carbonate device, the instruments are good for isotopic analysis of small carbonate samples, providing high linearity, sensitivity and throughput in climate research applications such as paleoclimatic reconstructions.
Isotope ratio monitoring GC/MS reveals the history and origin of individual compounds by reading their isotopic signature with high precision.
IRM-GC/MS is suitable for analysis in fields including geochemistry, ecology, petrology, forensics, food testing and environmental studies.
Xseries 2 quadrupole ICP-MS analyser for routine and high-performance ICP-QMS applications features advanced H2/He collision cell technology (licensed from Battelle).
The Xseries 2 overcomes the challenges of spectroscopic interferences, providing multi-element analysis for all elements including Ca, Fe, As and Se.
Featured Thermo Scientific software technologies at IMSC include Watson Lims 7.4, which is purpose-built for bioanalytical applications.
The software now includes a built-in data interchange with the company's TSQ Series mass spectrometers, allowing for direct data acquisition, peak integration and re-integration, storage, archiving and reporting of raw data, all under the control of Watson's centralised Oracle repository.
Pinpoint software and ISRM increase the productivity of quantitative proteomics research.
Intelligent Selective Reaction Monitoring (ISRM) improves the throughput of SRM assays, while Pinpoint software offers automated method development and quantitative analysis of SRM-based targeted peptide assays.
Mass Frontier 6.0 software helps manage, evaluate and interpret MSn spectra.
It is suitable for small molecule structural elucidations in metabolite identification and impurity analysis in pharmaceutical and toxicology studies.
Other Thermo Scientific technologies on display at booth A+1 at IMSC include the Kingfisher Flex system for purifying DNA, RNA or proteins; the Accela 600 Pump for high flow rate applications, and Quickquan software, which simplifies automation required in lead discovery and lead optimisation environments.
