OVERVIEW

NanoFrontier is a nanoLC (liquid chromatograph) trap TOF (time of flight) MS (mass spectrometer) for Proteomics. NanoLC is used for sample separation, and it can make gradient-elution at nL/min (nanoliter per minute) flow rates without split. It incorporates splitless gradient flow that provides flow rates down to nL/min. The MS part is a hybrid type that incorporates ion-trap and TOF MS. It can perform MSⁿ (mass spectrometery) analysis with high mass accuracy measurement. Using NanoFrontier to perform proteome analysis will enable one to clarify life process and discover new knowledge about how to develop new drugs.
