Description |
Features and Specifications:
- Custom-built microanalytical capillary electrophoresis platform capable of analyzing 1-50 nL portion from <1 μL samples
- Commercial nano-flow liquid chromatograph (Dionex Ultimate 3000)
- Custom-built CE nano-flow electrospray ionization source capable of efficiently ionizing molecules separated by CE
- A quadrupole-linear ion trap-orbitrap tribrid analyzer ultrahigh-resolution mass spectrometer (Thermo Orbitrap Lumos) equipped with a collision-induced dissociation (CID), a higher-energy collisional dissociation (HDC), and an electron transfer dissociation (ETD) cell, enabling 240,000-500,000 HFWM spectral resolution
- Capability for tandem and multistage mass spectrometry (MS2, MSn)
- Comprehensive suite of metabolomics and proteomics software packages to process mass spectrometry datasets
Potential Applications:
- Virtually any compound that can be ionized for mass spectrometry, including most biomolecules (e.g., proteins, peptides, and metabolites) and manmade compounds (e.g., organic compounds, polymers)
- Particularly recommended for proteins and peptides
- Qualitative analysis to determine what types of molecules are present in the sample
- Quantitative analysis to determine how much of the molecules are present in the sample
- Multiplexing quantification for proteomics/peptidomics using tandem mass tags (TMT, Thermo Scientific) or Isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) reagents
