There is a famous reindeer who has a red nose. But what if his red nose was an infrared-nose that helped us identify and confirm the various things we encounter during the holiday season? In this fun holiday web seminar we’ll discover the answers to these questions and more with real FTIR science and microscopy. By using transmission, reflection, ATR, rapid scan, multi-component analysis and other capabilities we’ll be able to put these holiday materials to the test. Learn what you can see with FTIR using everyday holiday samples. Live: Tuesday, December 17, 2019 at 11am EST | 8am PST | 4pm GMT | 5pm CET On demand available after airing until Dec 17, 2020.

High resolution mass spectrometry with nano-LC is used for protein identification and quantification in both top-down and bottom-up proteome analysis. Reliable instrumentation in combination with ultrapure mobile phases is essential for data integrity. Premixed 80% acetonitrile with 0.1% formic acid (LS122-500) and water with 0.1% formic acid (LS118-500) were designed to produce a consistent chromatographic performance using this instrument system. In this study, these mobile phases were used extensively to evaluate several factors which can affect separation of protein digests such as peak retention, peak repeatability, and sample carryover. Our results demonstrated excellent chromatographic performance using Thermo Scientific EASY-nLC 1200 LC system and Thermo Scientific LTQLX ™ ion trap mass spectrometer with the specialized premixed mobile phases.
