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.

Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Fusion Lumos Tribrid with Waters NanoAcquity UPLC

~quantitative proteomics~

A quadrupole-Orbitrap-linear ion trap tribrid mass spectrometer employing HCD, CID and ETD fragmentation options. Instrument is equiped with a FAIMS PRO source for atmospheric ion mobility separations providing improved analyte selectivity and expanded proteome coverage. Analysis of complex protein digests including identification of post-translational modifications, covalently bound protein-drug adducts, and chemically cross-linked peptides. Ideal for stable isotope label (e.g. TMT, SILAC) or label-free (peptide peak area) quantitative proteomics workflows.
