Ion Trap performance for small molecule applications

MS for Structure Analysis

Identifying drug metabolites and verifying their structure play a vital role in pharma discovery and development. Software features like the FragmentExplorer are the ideal tools for structure confirmation, taking advantage of the fast and sensitive stepwise MS fragmentation of the amaZon speed ion trap. Bruker‘s MetaboliteTools software suite provides confident metabolite prediction as well as detection and interpretation of new compounds.

OpenAccess Workflows

The intuitive and workflow-oriented GUI of the Compass OpenAccess software supports the flexibility and speed of the amaZon speed as an ideal solution for multi-user industrial, clinical or teaching labs. The web-based client-server system is ideally suited for workflows such as:

  • quality control (QC)
  • recombinant protein MW

verification or automatic library searches.

Drug Quantitation

Reliable and routine quantification is a task so far reserved for triple quadrupole instruments. The enhanced speed and reproducibility of the amaZon speed in MRM experiments enables the reliable quantification of target compounds in diverse matrices.

Translating speed into proteomic information

Bottom-up analysis

The complexity of the proteome still challenges analytical technologies. The high dynamic range and complexity due to posttranslational modifications require maximum speed and sensitivity to capture as many peptides as possible.

The enhanced MS/MS speed, faster isolation, and SMART fragmentation capabilities of the amaZon speed ion trap set new standards in protein identification. This results in the identification of > 1200 unambiguously identified proteins in a single LC-MS/MS run from 1 µg E. coli digest.

Excellent dynamic range

The UPS-2 standard is a mixture of 48 proteins spanning a concentration range of 6 decades in total. The amaZon speed allows protein identifications over 5 concentration levels in a single run.
