A nonexclusive agreement to co-market their products to life sciences researchers has been announced by Thermo Electron Corp. (Waltham, MA, USA) and Advion BioSciences, Inc. (Ithaca, NY, USA). The agreement was announced at PITTCON 2003, held in Orlando (FL, USA).Posted on 27 Mar 2003
Under the agreement, the two companies will jointly coordinate the sales, marketing, and support of Advion's chip-based nanoelectrospray robotic system (NanoMate, Deca XP Plus) that integrates Thermo Electron's ion trap mass spectrometer (Finnigan, Deca XP Plus). Electrospray ionization (ESI) couples liquid samples with mass spectrpmetry detection for protein sequencing, analysis of combinatorial synthesis products, drug metabolite screening and identification, and pharmacokinetic profiling of drug candidates. NanoMate allows users to either speed analysis for increased throughput for small molecule applications or slow acquisition time for proteomics applications to gain greater data quality and protein sequence coverage.
"Compared to conventional methods, automated nanoelectrospray offers higher sample throughput, lack of sample cross-contamination, reduced analysis cost, and the need for only a very small sample to get meaningful results,” said Jack Henion, Ph.D., president and CEO of Advion.
