Thermo Scientific µPAC Neo HPLC Column

Thermo Fisher Scientific is providing proteomics and biopharmaceutical research laboratories with a micro-pillar array column as part of an end-to-end LC-MS workflow that should simplify complex bottom-up proteomics analyses.

The Thermo Scientific µPAC Neo HPLC Column, initially available to pre-order with the Thermo Scientific Vanquish Neo UHPLC System and Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Mass Spectrometers, delivers a comprehensive, single-solution LC-MS workflow complete with a detailed start-up protocol. This should help users accelerate their experimental set-up with the reassurance of high performance across every component of the workflow.

The column delivers good separation performance over a wide range of flow rates, offering the ultrahigh resolution needed to extract maximum information from complex samples. As a result, laboratories should be able to identify a greater number of proteins and peptides in their proteomics experiments.

Manufactured using the same lithographic mask, each column is close to identical, said to provide better column-to-column consistency and extended product lifetime relative to packed-bed column alternatives. The reduced need for column changes and resultant increased system uptime means method development, validation and large-scale studies should be more streamlined. Ease of use is enabled through a suite of additional features, including the Thermo Scientific NanoViper Fingertight Fittings that enable swift connections to reduce errors and the need for repeat analysis.
