Agreement to jointly develop a fully integrated software and hardware solution that couples mass spectrometry and coulometric detection

ESA, Applied Biosystems, and MDS have announced an agreement to jointly develop a fully integrated software and hardware solution that couples mass spectrometry and coulometric detection Coulometric detectors provide an added degree of sensitivity and selectivity to LC/MS users based on the oxidation or reduction of electroactive species

The ESA coulometric technology provides added information about metabolites and complements the electrospray ionisation techniques used in LC/MS to accelerate drug discovery.

Applied Biosystems and ESA will develop software to incorporate ESA's Coulochem III electrochemical detector in the Applied Biosystems Analyst software and to incorporate software components in the CoulArray software to display LC/MS/MS data.

The collaboration is expected to provide customers with seamless instrument control and processing tools to integrate LC/MS and electrochemical data for improved identification and characterisation of metabolites.

In addition, researchers at both companies will collaborate to develop new combined applications for mass spectrometry and coulometric detection.

Furthermore, each company will co-promote the technologies to customers via their respective sales forces, and leverage the current customer base for each technology. Request a free brochure from ESA Biosciences ...
