Fraction Collection For Capillary LC
Induction Based Fluidics technology (IBF) is used to spot pico- to micro-size volumes of Liquid Chromatographic (LC) effluent into micro vials, micro-well plates or on MALDI targets while the ALIAS autosampler serves as the platform for the product. IBF technology enables contact-less deposition of droplets over relatively large distances with very high accuracy. De-coupling of LC-separations from Mass Spectrometric (MS) analysis in proteomics research is the target application area. De-coupling of LC-ESI-MS will allow unlimited MS analysis time for eluting sample components while fraction collection on MALDI targets will enable LC-MALDI-MS analysis. The option of storage and re-analysis of LC-fractions is another advantage of de-coupling LC-MS.
