Bruker Daltonics to Present at the International Mass Spectrometry Conference (IMSC) in Prague on Clinical Proteomics, MALDI Imaging, Ion Trap ETD, FTMS and Metabolomics
PRAGUE, Czech Republic - August 26, 2006 - At the 2006 International Mass Spectrometry Conference, Bruker Daltonics will make numerous presentations on mass spectrometry applications in proteomics and clinical research solutions, as well as in small molecule analysis and metabolomics. On Tuesday, August 29, 2006, top Bruker Daltonics scientists will lead in-depth discussions of the following topics at a luncheon seminar from 1:15 to 2:15 p.m. in Meeting Room 1, 1st Floor, in the Prague Congress Centre. Space is limited, so RSVP early by registering at www.bdal.com or by emailing to sales@bdal.de
Clinical Biomarker Discovery Integrated with MALDI Molecular Imaging:
an in-depth analysis of Bruker Daltonics' integrated solution for biomarker screening, identification and imaging in clinical tissue research. We introduce "class imaging" vs. mass imaging, which enables the sensitive detection of novel clinically important protein or peptide biomarkers in diseases such as cancer by tissue molecular imaging analysis.
New Frontiers in Ion Trap ETD:
having introduced ETD (electron transfer dissociation) in 2005 as the first vendor, Bruker Daltonics is now taking the next major step forward: data-dependent, intelligent combinations of CID and ETD on an HCT Ultra(TM) high-capacity ion trap for maximum information on sequence coverage and post-translational modifications in complex samples will be described.
New Tools for "Top-down" Detailed Protein Characterization
The Bruker Daltonics apex-Qe hybrid FTMS is ideally suited to probe the chemical and structural nature of intact proteins. Features such as selected ion enrichment (SIE(TM)) followed by CID, IRMPD, and ECD provide researchers with incredible flexibility and unparalleled resolution and accuracy. Bruker has extended the capabilities of "top-down" strategies even further with the addition of new algorithms that include: monoisotopic peak-finder, improved charge deconvolution, and database searching. The utility of these tools will be demonstrated with highly relevant protein characterization examples.
Integrated Metabolic Profiling Elucidated
With its unique integrated, hyphenated LC-NMR/ESI-TOF setup in combination with statistical methods, Bruker Daltonics presents the ultimate solution for the full characterization of complex metabolic profiles and for small molecule biomarker discovery. This unique hyphenated solution and its various advantages will be demonstrated.
In addition, over 40 other oral and poster presentations by Bruker Daltonics scientists and customers will demonstrate the Company's wide range of high performance life-science mass spectrometers. The Company also anticipates making several product introductions during IMSC. For further information on IMSC, please visit www.imsc2006.org
