Why modern software is the key to unlocking your instrument’s full potential
Date: Oct 3, 2013 - 15:00
By combining an informative presentation with a real demonstration using Thermo Scientific Qtegra ISDS software for ICP instrumentation, attendees will see first hand how software can optimize analysis and instrument workflows, help users avoid common pitfalls of method development and ensure data compliance first time, every time.
Pushing the Boundaries of Protein Identification, Characterization, and Quantitation Using a Novel Orbitrap-Based Tribrid MS Architecture
Date: Oct 1, 2013 - 15:00
Peptide identification rates and protein sequence coverage have historically advanced in line with improvements to the detection limits and spectral acquisition rate of the mass spectrometer. This webinar will demonstrate the advantages of using a novel Orbitrap mass spectrometer to dramatically improve spectral acquisition rates through massive parallelization of the acquisition process to enhance proteome coverage and general experimental throughput.
Advances in Quantitative Proteomics: Parallel Reaction Monitoring Applied to Large-scale Studies
Date: Jun 26, 2013 - 13:00
Quantitative proteomics studies are challenging as high sensitivity and a high degree of selectivity are required to analyze systematically large peptide sets in one single experiment. Quantification of peptides in complex samples can be performed on a quadrupole-orbitrap instrument in MS/MS mode (parallel reaction monitoring, PRM). The high resolving power of this technique dramatically increases the selectivity of the measurements while the trapping capability can be leveraged to boost the sensitivity.
The advantages of high sensitivity ICP-MS
Date: Jun 12, 2013 - 15:00
The applications for trace elemental analysis are steadily increasing: in addition to classic fields like environmental and semiconductor analysis, more and more interest is emerging in trace elemental analysis in food, pharmaceutical, clinical analysis and material characterization, not to mention hot topics like the analysis of nano-particles.
The Inert Flow Path - Your Analyte's Journey from Injection to Detection
Date: Jun 5, 2013 - 09:00
