Ancillary Equipment

Packard Multiprobe II HT EX Liquid Handling System
This eight tip, expanded deck liquid handling robot is paired with the Millipore Montage Zip Plate system to provide automated digestion of in-gel proteins. The Zip Plate has the ability to simultaneously desalt a 96 well plate of samples using stationary phase mounted in the well bottom and vacuum suction. Once the digestion and purification steps are complete, samples are combined with matrix and then spotted onto target plates for direct MALDI analysis. It is also possible to directly elute the Zip Plate onto a MALDI plate for maximum sensitivity.

LC Packings Famos, Switchos, and Ultimate Micro Pump
The Famos is a fully automated microsampler that allows programmed injections in the 50 nL to 5 mL volume range. The Switchos provides micro column switching capability and therefore facilitates processes requiring multidimensional (2-D, 3-D) separations as well as those with pre-concentration, clean-up, and desalting steps. The Ultimate Micro Pump and Detection Module features a quaternary low pressure gradient former that maintains reproducible 50 nL/min to 200 mL/min flow rates, and a U-Z View longitudinal flow cell for high sensitivity UV detection with minimum dispersion.

LC Packings Probot Micro Fraction Collector
Capable of collecting nanoliter volumes, the Probot precision liquid handling system is utilized for micro fraction collection from on-line capillary/nano LC or CE systems directly onto MALDI targets.
