Bruker Daltonics’ Executive Vice President, Dr. Michael Schubert, and Assistant Vice President Victor Fursey present an overview live of these and other innovative Bruker Daltonics products and solutions direct from the extensive Bruker Daltonics booth at Pittcon. Fursey says, “The scientific interest in our new BioTyper, MALDI Molecular Imager, and PTMScan applications at our booth was excellent. At the same time, our top-of-the-line micrOTOF-Q, ultraflex TOF/TOF, and apex-Qe FTMS mass spectrometers continued to demonstrate interest from the research community for drug discovery and proteomics applications.”

The Bruker Group led all exhibitors in the number of Pittcon Editors’ Awards received , earning honorable mentions for its 800 Mhz UltraShield™ Plus NMR, its D8 Screen Lab™ screening system for advanced materials research, and its S8 Tiger XRF spectrometer for elemental analysis in industrial applications.

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.MALDI-TOF MSMALDI-TOF mass spectrometers (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight) are used for the mass analysis of large molecules, including proteins, DNA, polymers and other macromolecules due to its relatively soft ionization, reducing fragmentation whilst allowing fast data acquisition. Tandem mass analyzers such as TOF/TOF systems can be used to increase resolution and sensitivity of your analysis.

The use of biomarkers in research and diagnosis can indicate a normal or disease state or drug response of cells / tissues. Biomarkers include genetic markers, cell surface markers such as antigens, antibodies or receptors and secreted molecules such as cytokines. An assay system is required for identification of biomarkers. :
