FAIMS pro duo interface

The Thermo Scientific FAIMS Pro Duo interface extends differential ion mobility capability to multiple Thermo Scientific next-generation mass spectrometers

13 Nov 2023

The growing complexities of qualitative and quantitative analyses in both research and routine applications demand more selective and sensitive analytical techniques, reduced sample preparation, and confident data processing for a wider range of compound types. In this product brochure from Thermo Fisher Scientific, explore the FAIMS Pro Duo interface. The interface extends differential ion mobility capability to multiple Thermo Scientific™ next-generation mass spectrometers, overcoming sample complexity and matrix interferences regardless of chromatographic flow rate or sample loading amount. Whether it is the discovery of novel analytes and putative biomarker panels, or a need for enhanced quantitative performance, the orthogonal selectivity offered by the FAIMS Pro Duo interface delivers increased productivity and data quality. The FAIMS Pro Duo interface is incorporated with Thermo Scientific™ LC and MS systems such as the Thermo Scientific™ EASY-nLC™ 1200 system and the Thermo Scientific™ Orbitrap Exploris™ 480 mass spectrometer to provide selective identification of more proteins and unique peptides, increasing coverage without extra work.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.

BiosensorsBiosensors are devices used to detect an analyte using biological molecules specific to the analyte coupled to a detector. Biosensor instruments may be photometric, typically using surface plasma resonance (SPR), electrochemical or QCM (quartz crystal microbalance) biosensors. Biosensors should be selective, portable, robust and sensitive and have a fast response time. Systems may be manual or automated and usually have associated software.Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.BiomarkersBiomarkers are biological markers which can be measured and evaluated to indicate a biological state. 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. :Automation Supplies / AccessoriesAutomated accessories and consumables make lab processes fast, efficient and reliable. Useful automation accessories include microplate sealers, label printers and reagent reservoirs.Flash ChromatographyFlash chromatography is a fast-preparative column chromatography technique used for separation and purification of liquid analytes. Flash chromatography systems use small silica gel particles for separation and a pressurized gas for driving the solvent through the column or pre-packed cartridge.
