LC-MS (Orbitrap Elite)

Mass Spectrometry Service

Orbitrap Elite:

Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Elite Mass spectrometer has a dual pressure linear ion trap coupled with high-field Orbitrap Mass analyzer facilitating increased sensitivity, reliability and dynamic range for better detection and MSn identification.

Features:

  • Novel high-field Orbitrap analyzer
  • Resolving power > 240,000 FWHM
  • Advanced signal processing
  • Multiple fragmentation techniques: CID, HCD and optionally ETD
  • Parallel MS and MSn analysis
  • Velos Pro ion trap generation II ion optics with neutral blocking technology increase robustness

 

Small Molecules:

Molecules ranging from 100 to 2000 Da can be analyzed for their presence through direct infusion method with an accuracy of < 5 ppm in high resolution mode.

Top Down Proteomics:

This involves identification of proteins present in a complex mixture prior digestion.  Proteins extracted from the sample of interest and fractionated can be analysed using Orbitrap based Mass spectrometer with CID, HCD and ETD fragmentation.

Bottom Up Proteomics:

Digested Protein samples can be analysed by LC-MS/MS. Peptides are separated using a nano LC-Column and the eluent is subjected to Mass spectrometer using Electrospray ionization.
