Product news

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. today announced it will show its expanded portfolio of market-leading chromatography solutions within the Thermo Scientific and Dionex booths at HPLC 2011, a first since Thermo Fisher acquired Dionex. Among the range of instruments, software and consumables on display will be the newly launched Thermo Scientific Accucore HPLC column range.

These new products, alongside launches of mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography instruments used in advanced proteomic research, can be seen within the Thermo Scientific (M11-12) and Dionex (M 16-17) booths during the 36th International Symposium on High-Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related Techniques (HPLC 2011), June 19-23, Budapest.

“By combining the rich heritage of the existing Thermo Scientific and Dionex chromatography offerings with our new offerings being launched at HPLC, Thermo Fisher is giving customers an even more comprehensive portfolio of chromatography instruments, consumables, software, services and applications expertise,” said Greg Herrema, president, analytical instruments at Thermo Fisher Scientific. “The new capabilities presented at HPLC are creating greater possibilities for scientists worldwide, making analyses more comprehensive and ensuring optimal speed, sensitivity and versatility."

Expanded Chromatography Consumables Portfolio Creates New Possibilities

Founded on state-of-the-art Core Enhanced Technology and utilizing vast experience in phase bonding and packing, the Thermo Scientific Accucore HPLC column range is a major addition to Thermo Fisher’s portfolio. It provides a unique chromatography solution to enhance laboratory workflow and efficiency by providing increased sensitivity and peak resolution in columns that are compatible with almost any instrument.

New Advancements in Qualitative and Quantitative Proteomics Analyses

Showcasing its commitment to advancing proteomics research, Thermo Fisher is launching the Thermo Scientific EASY-nLC 1000 split-free nano-flow system at HPLC 2011. The system significantly increases chromatographic resolution and, as a result protein and peptide identifications, with effortless ultra-high pressure operation. In addition, the company will also showcase the newly introduced Thermo Scientific Velos Pro linear ion trap and Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Velos Pro hybrid FTMS mass spectrometers, systems that provide improved quantitative performance, faster scanning, Trap-Higher Energy Collision Dissociation (HCD) and enhanced robustness.

Thermo Fisher is also introducing Thermo Scientific Q Exactive high-performance benchtop quadrupole-Orbitrap LC-MS/MS, combining quadrupole precursor selection and high-resolution accurate mass (HR/AM) Orbitrap™ mass analysis to deliver high confidence quantitative and qualitative (quan/qual) workflows. With innovative HR/AM Quanfirmation™ capability, the Q Exactive™ mass spectrometer can identify, quantify and confirm more trace-level peptides and proteins in complex mixtures in one analytical run. The new Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Elite hybrid mass spectrometer provides the resolution and sensitivity needed to improve the determination of the molecular weights of intact proteins within laboratories, as well as enable greater proteome coverage through improved protein, PTM and peptide identification, even at low abundances.

AutosamplersAutosamplers are automated sample loaders used with a number of separation and analytical techniques. HPLC autosamplers use automated partial or full-loop injection systems and place samples in vials or microplates for analysis. Autosamplers can also be used for elemental analysis. Features to consider include repeatability, syringe capacity, footprint and temperature controls.  UHPLC and HPLCHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), also known as UPLC, are analytical techniques used to separate, identify and quantitate components of complex mixtures including biological samples such as proteins and lipids as well as chemical mixtures of pesticides, drugs and oils. Both techniques are liquid chromatographic methods but differ by operating pressures (HPLC < 6000 psi < UHPLC ). Components of HPLC and UHPLC systems include columns, detectors, pumps, autosamplers and column heaters. Explore a range of UHPLC and HPLC columns for your specific sample needs including reverse phase, normal phase, ion exchange, HILIC, ion exclusion and size exclusion columns. For more specialized HPLC, explore FPLC, countercurrent LC and simulated moving bed systems. Find the best UHPLC and HPLC equipment in our peer reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.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.Preparative ChromatographyPreparative chromatography equipment is used for purification purposes, separating and collecting compounds eluted from a mixture which can then be subsequently used for further purposes. This can be done in large quantities or small. Preparative chromatography systems are usually low to medium pressure liquid chromatographs that are semi-automated. Explore a range of preparative columns and fraction collectors. Find the best preparative chromatography equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.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.GC-MS GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) instruments and equipment are used to separate, quantify and identify mixtures of small and volatile compounds, such as polycyclic aromatics, fatty acids and alcohols. Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis.
