Thermo Fisher improves proteomics research productivity

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. is helping proteomics researchers increase productivity and free up time for more value-added activities when generating high quality samples for analysis, using a new automated sample preparation system that integrates within any LC-MS workflow. The Thermo Scientific AccelerOme Automated Sample Preparation Platform eliminates the need for labour-intensive, manual sample preparation for LC-MS analysis, including the associated method development and reagent sourcing. This allows users to focus on higher value tasks. Automated sample preparation also overcomes the challenge of maintaining reproducibility with manual methodologies, and the new platform’s pre-built validated methods and kit format reagents further reduce any risk of user error. The resulting peptide samples are of consistent high-quality. A novel built-in UV measurement of final peptide concentration prior to LC-MS analysis allows the standardisation of sample peptide input for LC-MS analysis, another metric that adds to the quality, reliability and robustness of the final experimental result.
