Hitachi NanoFrontier LD LIT-TOF LCMS System

An Integrated NanoLC and LIT-TOF System — Innovative Technology Dedicated for the Analysis of Proteins

The highly efficient NanoFrontier is designed to meet the demanding challenges of today's proteomics research laboratories. The hybrid mass spectrometer incorporates Linear Ion Trap technology with TOF detection (LIT-TOF) affording superior sensitivity and mass accuracy.

MSn analysis using the LIT enables automatic MS/MS with automatic peak selection and exclusion of monovalent ions. This is useful for detecting post-translation modifications such as phosphorylation and glycosylation sites.

The NanoFrontier LC/MS utilizes the Hitachi NanoFrontier nLC chromatography system with DEGS (Dual Exchange Gradient System, patent pending) technology for unparalleled gradient and retention time reproducibility at true nanoflow (50nL/min).

The Hitachi IBA (Information Based Acquisition) intelligent MS/MS provides enhanced protein information at reduced analysis time.
