Description and Applications |
| Agilent | GeneSpring MS software |
New
|
Allows researchers to easily import, store, and visualize GC/MS and LC/MS data from large sample sets, and to detect changes in the profile of proteins, peptides and metabolites across many samples. Software will be available for order in the third quarter of 2006. |
| Multiple Affinity Removal System 7 |
New
|
Available in either liquid chromatography column or spin-tube format, the product removes the seven most abundant proteins in human plamsa: albumin, IgG, transferrin, haptoglobin, anti-trypsin, IgA, and fibrinogen. | |
| Offgel Fractionator |
New
|
Fractionates both intace proteins and peptides by their isoelectric point. Unlike standard gel-based pI fractionation, the system yields fractions in solution, which can be directly subjected to further fractionation, or LC/MS analysis. | |
| Applied Biosystems |
8-plex iTRAQ |
New
|
Still in development, this iTRAQ kit will be able to deal with up to eight different samples in one run. Scientific lectures showing the pioneering use of the reagents were presented at this ASMS. ABI hopes to release the product later this year. |
| BioiTRAQ Discovery System |
New
|
Package designed around iTRAQ use includes Tempo Nano-LC system, QSTAR or 4800 mass spec, and iTRAQ chemistry kits. | |
| MIDAS TRAQ Validation Systems |
New
|
Package includes QTRAP 4000 or 3200 instrument, and software to build MIDAS workflow for validating biomarker candidates. | |
| Plasma iTRAQ |
New
|
Special iTRAQ kit optimized for dealing with plasma. | |
| Protein iTRAQ |
New
|
Special iTRAQ kit optimized for lableing intact proteins with iTRAQ. | |
| Protein Pilot software |
New
|
Launched in January, this is new quantitation software to support ICAT, iTRAQ, and SILAC experiments. Uses Paragon search engine, or, can also use Mascot. | |
| Bruker Daltonics |
15 Tesla refrigerated magnet |
New
|
World's first refrigerated 15T magnet is part of Bruker's R-series of FTMS magnets that require less maintenance. |
| ICPL Triplex kit |
Upgrade
|
Now the Isotope Coded Protein Labels can be used to analyze up to three independent proteomes, instead of only two. | |
| WARP-LC 1.1 software |
Upgrade
|
Software designed for quantitative proteomics using isotope labeling supports ICPL, SILAC, iTRAQ, ICAT, and 18O/16O-C terminus labeling. | |
| Genologics | Proteus 3.6 |
Upgrade
|
Enhancements include integration with the Institute for Systems Biology's Trans Proteomic Pipeline, and the ability to handle electronic sample sheets. |
| Shimadzu | AXIMA-TOF2 |
Upgrade
|
MALDI TOF/TOF mass spec's improved curved field reflectron technology gives improved quality in low-mass ion range. |
| Thermo Electron |
Bioworks 3.3 protein identification and quantitation software |
Upgrade
|
New version of the software handles major quantitative labeling techniques, including iTRAQ, SILAC, and ICAT, as well as label-free quantitation. Uses Sequest algorithm for the identification of peptides and proteins. Allows users to import Mascot results after a Sequest search has been run. |
| Electron Transfer Dissociation module |
New
|
ETD unit fragments peptides and proteins in a way that allows researchers to study post-translational modifications. Unit is retrofittable to all LTQs present in the field, and is sold as an option with all new LTQs. | |
| LTQ FT Ultra hybrid FTICR |
Upgrade
|
Features a new ICR cell design that increases sensitivity to attomole levels, increases dynamic range to over 4000, and increases mass accuracy to ppb levels. Resolution is greater than 1,000,000. | |
| LTQ XL linear ion trap |
Upgrade
|
Extends performance of the LTQ by offering ETD and PQD dissociation techniques, in addition to CID. | |
| Peaks Studio de novo software |
New
|
Developed by Bioinformatics Solutions, this software provides rapid automatic or manual de novo sequencing. | |
| ProSightPC top-down proteomics software |
New
|
Software analyzes top-down proteomics data. It uses five different search modes to determine the exact protein sequence, including modifications and alternative splicing. | |
| SIEVE differential expression software |
New
|
Provides label-free quantitative differential expression analysis of proteins and peptides from multiple LC/MS datasets. | |
| Tissue Imaging software |
New
|
Available with the LTQ XL, the software allows users to determine the spatial distribution of small molecules or peptide compounds of interest. | |
| Waters | Acquity TQD system |
New
|
Benchtop, tandem-quadrupole, atmospheric pressure ionization mass detector-based system is designed for routine UPLC/MS/MS analyses. Uses IntelliStart technology to automatically calibrate and do performance checks of the instrument. |
| MALDI Q-Tof Premier mass spec |
Upgrade
|
Upgraded instrument has a 200-Hz solid-state laser that scans faster than the laser in the previous version of the instrument. The improved laser allows for improved mass accuracy and up to 10-fold improvement in sensitivity, according to Waters. | |
| Synapt High Definition Mass Spectrometry System |
New
|
New class of mass spec employs ion-mobility technology to differentiate ions by size and shape, as well as molecular mass. | |
