Orbitrap Ascend Tribrid MS
Scale up your science. With new capabilities for multiplexed quantitative proteomics and native protein characterization, the Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Ascend Tribrid mass spectrometer delivers ultimate experimental throughput, versatility, and ease-of-use. Quantify more samples at lower concentrations using intelligent acquisition and faster Real-Time Search. Achieve greater coverage using a revolutionary new hardware design featuring two ion routing multipoles. Or characterize the largest biopharmaceuticals with optional mass range up to m/z 16,000. All while producing more with less instrument setup featuring automated Auto-Ready ion source for calibration and pre-built, optimized method templates to maximize convenience and ease-of-use. Be ready for tomorrow’s most challenging demands
“One thing on the Orbitrap Ascend Tribrid MS that is really exciting is the new ion routing multiples, and how by moving the collision cell forward, the speed of the system has gotten even faster from the last model. That means that we can dig deeper in a sample, and we can detect more things in a shorter period of time”

Orbitrap Fusion Lumos Tribrid MS
Recently, the Orbitrap Fusion Lumos mass spectrometer was used to characterize DNA-protein crosslinking in Escherichia coli engineered to use methanol as a source of carbon. Researchers from UCLA showed that cultures inoculated from the stationary phase exhibited exceedingly long lag phases. Identification and quantification of DNA-crosslinked proteins provided insight on the possible causes of cell death and potential disruption to the transcription and translation processes that would explain this observation.

High-Field Asymmetric waveform Ion Mobility Spectrometry (FAIMS) can be used to optimize ion selectivity and reduce chemical backgrounds during mass spectrometry assays. FAIMS selectivity successfully prevents interferences from co-eluting compounds and increases signal to noise ratios by 100-fold or higher.
