"Very easy to use, direct characterization, fast and reliable. great product."
The ZipChip® platform prepares and separates a wide range of biological samples, then electrosprays them into your mass spec for analysis. Just clip it on. The process takes as little as a few minutes, and it results in better separation quality than most LCs in a fraction of the time. Simple workflows and multiple kit options cover a host of biotherapeutic, metabolomic and proteomic applications.
Microfluidic technology integrates capillary electrophoresis (CE) and electrospray ionization (ESI) on the ZipChip. Junctions and dead volumes don’t exist so analytical quality stays high, and no injection bias improves repeatability.
ZipChip plays well with your mass spec and your proteins. Gentle sample prep reagents preserve structural integrity without denaturing or unfolding proteins for fully native mass spectra. No need to remove detergents or desalt. Negative and neutrals are trashed. Only positive analytes head out for cleaner mass spectra and more identified peaks.
Pick an application, a chip, and a kit. After simply loading the premixed background electrolyte and sample into the autosampler, pop in a ZipChip, and hit run. Use vials or 96-well plates.
It’s hands-off from there. Smart chips tell the system which method to use based on your preferences. Samples are automatically loaded, separated, and electrosprayed. Integrated software cues the mass spec to start the analysis.
