Bruker timsTOF Pro LC-MS/MS – trapped ion mobility QTOF mass spectrometer with PASEF technology for ultra-sensitive proteomics, biomarker discovery, pharmaceutical research, and advanced 4D LC-MS applications.

Key Features:

  • Trapped Ion Mobility Spectrometry (tims): Adds an orthogonal separation dimension for unmatched analytical clarity in complex biological mixtures.

  • PASEF Technology (Parallel Accumulation Serial Fragmentation): Increases sequencing speed and sensitivity without sacrificing data quality.

  • 4D Proteomics: Integrates ion mobility separation with retention time, m/z, and intensity for deep proteome coverage.

  • Ultra-High Sensitivity: Detects low-abundance peptides with exceptional precision.

  • High Throughput: Identifies thousands of proteins per run, suitable for large-scale proteomics studies.

  • Robust Quantitation: Ideal for label-free quantitation, TMT, iTRAQ, and DIA workflows.

  • Fast Acquisition Rates: Enables comprehensive coverage of complex peptide mixtures in shorter analysis times.

  • Stable Platform: Designed for 24/7 operation in demanding core facility and pharma environments.

  • Advanced Software: Integrated with Bruker’s ProteoScape, PEAKS, MaxQuant, and Spectronaut for advanced data analysis.

  • Regulatory Support: 21 CFR Part 11 compliance for pharmaceutical and clinical labs.


Applications:

  • Proteomics & Biomarker Discovery: High-coverage peptide and protein identification.

  • Clinical & Translational Research: Deep proteome profiling for disease mechanism studies.

  • Pharmaceutical R&D: Drug discovery, pharmacokinetics, and biotherapeutics characterization.

  • Metabolomics & Lipidomics (Extended): Sensitive analysis of small molecules with ion mobility separation.

  • Structural Biology: Conformational studies using ion mobility-resolved mass spectrometry.
