Micromass' new NanoLockSpray accessory for the company's LCT and Q-Tof range of mass spectrometers enables fully automated exact mass nanoLC-MS and nanoLC-MS-MS analyses.
The resulting increase in specificity enables automated proteomics and metabolism studies to be conducted with higher confidence. NanoLockSpray is optimised for nanoLC-MS at flow rates ranging from a few 100s of nl/min to a few 10s of nl/min for maximum sensitivity.
The NanoLockSpray accessory allows users of Micromass' orthogonal acceleration time-of-flight (TOF) instruments in the electrospray mode to elegantly circumvent solvent/gradient elution effects and eliminate potential mass interferences when introducing a lock mass reference. This accessory enables unattended characterisation of organic compounds (eg, peptide sequencing and drug metabolite ID) with the added confidence of exact mass measurement.
Micromass' NanoLockSpray accessory was designed initially with high throughput adiscovery' proteomics in mind.
