The characteristion of proteins has become the new frontier in analytical research, with millions of peptide sequences available
In a new detailed brochure, Thermo Electron describes its total expertise in mass spectrometry solutions for protein research. Thermo now provides complete turnkey solutions for proteomics laboratories wishing to build a state-of-the-art facility with a range of innovative ion trap mass spectrometers and software.
The characteristion of proteins has become the new frontier in analytical research, with millions of peptide sequences available.
Generating, managing, and reducing this vast amount of data and transforming it into useful information is a daunting task.
Combining tremendous analytical power and ultra-sensitive analysis with rapid and confident protein identification and sequencing, Thermo's integrated solutions stretch the boundaries and practical limits of what is currently possible in proteomics research, the company claims.
The brochure provides thorough but simple descriptions of the technology used by Thermo's Finnigan LTQ, Finnigan LTQ FT, and Finnigan ProteomeX LTQ mass spectrometry systems and by the Finnigan vMaldi ion source.
The practical benefits offered by these technologies, as well as the applications and types of samples that can be analysed are also explored.
Data created by Thermo's mass spectrometers need to be processed into information and knowledge to complete a protein investigation cycle.
This can only be achieved with scalable computational capacity.
Thermo offers powerful and user-friendly software packages that speed up protein discovery, including BioWorks protein identification software, Sequest Cluster for searching spectral libraries, and DeNovoX for automated sequencing.
These software solutions comprise super-computing speeds for data reduction, intuitive user interfaces, and seamless installation.
