Nano LC
Excellent high resolution results – every time
  • Accurate label-free quantification ensured by minimal RSD values for retention times
  • Stable, pulsation-free gradients from 100 nL/min
  • Advanced Flow Control™ with two flow sensors prior to mixing
  • Split-free gradient mixing – no flow splitting

Fast separations with typical peak widths: 3 - 5 sec (FWHM)

  • With Thermo Fisher LTQ Orbitrap XL
  • Autosampler within EASY-nLC used for precise step elution in SCX prior to RPC gradient elution and MS-MS analysis.
  • Separation: One-column set up of EASY-nLC with a biphasic analytical column (5 cm of Phenomenex Luna SCX 5 µm + 5 cm of Michrom Magic C18 5 µm). After injection of treated mouse placental tissue, 2D separation was performed by injecting a salt gradient in 10 steps, from 0.05 M to 0.5 M ammonium acetate. Control 1D experiments were used to verify the performance.
