We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Mass Spectrometry",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release NanoLC-Ultra separates complex peptide mixtures from
Eksigent Technologies, which we summarised at the time by saying "By eliminating flow splitting, Eksigent's proprietary microfluidic flow control (MFC) technology generates accurate and reproducible flow rates with a resolution of more than 1nl per
minute".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Reagents will help improve proteomics research from
Applied Biosystems: "Applied Biosystems announces an expansion of its line of labelling chemistry reagents used for proteomics research in academic and biopharmaceutical laboratories".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Mass Spectrometry)
concerning its Sequest and Mascot
- take a look at Joined-up thinking for protein identification
which says: "Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced the integration of Matrix Science's Mascot search engine for protein identification with its BioWorks software".
Take a look also at the news release from Ionicon Analytik, High resolution and sensitivity on-line analysis,
as well as Expanding the boundaries of mass spectrometry from Waters,
and Accurate formula ID on ion trap mass spectrometer from Cerno Bioscience.
