Abstract:
“NanoFrontier LD”, a new LC/Linear Ion Trap (LIT)− Time of Flight (TOF) MS for protein analysis has developed by Hitachi High−Technologies Corp. One of its remarkable features is NanoLC with Dual Exchange Gradient System (DEGS). DEGS offers great reproducibility of nano−flow gradient elution. Connecting NanoLC and LIT−TOF MS which MSn analysis with high mass accuracy is available, Information Based Acquisition (IBA) is also available. With IBA, the efficiency of protein identification by MS/MS improves.
