• Thermo Fisher Scientific and Immundiagnostik Collaborate To Develop Mass Spectrometry-Based Clinical and Research Tools

  Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. and Immundiagnostik AG announced a collaboration to develop novel mass spectrometry-based assays for qualitative and quantitative analysis of proteins and peptides. The goal is development of commercial assays to be widely applicable in research and routine clinical an more

• How to tell the sex of a criminal from a fingerprint

  Scientists in the UK claim to be able to determine the sex of a person from their fingerprints, by profiling peptides and small proteins in latent fingerprints. The team have used matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation mass spectrometry and multivariate modelling to detect peptides and proteins more

• Greater Accuracy in Gauging Blood Coagulation

  Thrombin plays a key role in various pathologies of the haemostatic system. Overexpression of thrombin can result in thrombosis, whereas its underexpression might lead to haemophilia. Therefore, accurate monitoring of thrombin activity is crucial for determining the proper treatment of a given patie more

• Epitope Mapping Using the In Vitro Rapid Translation System RTS 100
  

  The Rapid Translation System (RTS) represents a cell-free system that allows efficient production of protein from linear DNA sequences. This article gives a brief outline of the use of the RTS technology in linear epitope mapping and shows its promise for reducing time-consuming cloning and cell-lysis steps. more

• Innovative column technology for liquid chromatography
  

  Fast, efficient and cost saving chromatography of various samples by application of a liquid stationary phase. Termination of disadvantages of the solid phase material used in classical chromatography. more

• Enzymatic Protein Digest for Mass-spectrometric Analysis
  

  The main focus in proteomic studies is on the identification of proteins in given biological samples. Proteins isolated and separated from a given sample (e.g., whole cell lysates, blood or tissue, protein complexes) by immunoprecipitation or affinity chromatography or two-dimensional electrophoresis must be proteolytically cleaved in the course of sample preparation for identification and characterization. A reproducible cleavage pattern of digested proteins is a prerequisite for the unambiguous identification of these proteins by mass spectrometry (MS). more
