Product news

Proxeon A/S and Bruker Daltonik GmbH today announced that the companies have entered into an OEM agreement. Under the agreement, Bruker Daltonik will sell Proxeon’s nanoscale chromatography system, EASY-nLC™, together with their well-established range of products for mass spectrometry, beginning initially in the Europe region.

“Combining our range of proteomics MS products with the novel nanoLC system from Proxeon takes proteomics analysis to a new level in terms of performance, reliability and ease-of-use, answering the increasing demand for integrated solutions,” said Dr. Alexander Harder; Director of Product Management of Bruker Daltonik.

EASY-nLC is a fully integrated, split-free nanoscale LC system, optimized for use with mass spectrometry and in particular LC-MS applications in proteomics. The product is already in use in prestigious proteomics laboratories and will also continue to be sold through the Proxeon sales team. Bruker Daltonics offers a well-established range of mass spectrometry systems and solutions that are widely used in proteomics research, including their HCTultra™ ion trap, micrOTOF-Q™, and apex ultra™ instrument series. The Easy-nLC and MS systems are already completely integrated via Bruker Compass™ software, offering significant convenience and productivity advantages for proteomics researchers. The combined system will be sold by Bruker Daltonik through their sales and marketing organization.

“Bruker Daltonics is one of the world leading MS proteomics companies. This OEM agreement is an excellent opportunity to reach out and offer our outstanding product to a larger group of researchers,” explained Mårten Winge, CEO of Proxeon.

LC-MSLC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) systems and equipment are used for separation and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures, combining liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Quantify proteins, contaminants, pesticides or screen for drug metabolites with a high level of sensitivity. LC-MS systems and equipment include reverse phase, normal phase and specialized columns integrated with various MS detectors such as time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole, orbitrap or ion trap mass analyzers. LC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzer give greater sensitivity and resolving power to your analysis. Find the best LC-MS equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.NanoLCNano LC is a nano scale liquid chromatography technique typically used for proteomic applications. The nano refers to the very low flow rate of the mobile phase in the system. The advantage of nanoLC is its high sensitivity. Often the system is integrated with a mass spectrometer in nano LC-MS or nano LC-MS/MS. When using nanoLC equipment consider column choice, software and accurate and precise flow rate control.
