Proteomics suite

Thermo Electron has introduced its Proteomicsn suite of solutions, which covers a wide breadth of proteomics applications from top-down analysis to bottom-up sequencing and from high-throughput protein identification to automated protein quantification and biomarker discovery.

Proteomicsn allows researchers to achieve rapid, accurate protein identification, characterisation and quantification. The suite includes an effective strategy for identifying and validating protein biomarkers that may indicate the presence of a specific disease.

At the core are three mass spectrometers, the Finnigan LTQ for ultra-high sensitivity and extraordinary protein identification, the LTQ FT hybrid mass spectrometer for high resolution and accurate mass determination of proteins and their modifications and the vMALDI LTQ for automated high-throughput gel spot analysis.

Sequest Sorcerer and ProSight PTM are new products. Sequest accelerates protein database searching up to 50-fold.

ProSight is dedicated software for top-down protein sequencing.
