Proteomics & molecular characterisation

Look beyond
the instrument.
See the workflow.

Protein research depends on more than one instrument. We consider complete setups, from purification and separation to analysis and the workstation.

Tell us which components are included in your sale. Select a stage to see the details that help us understand the setup.

Preparation & introduction

Identify any liquid handlers, preparation modules or sample-introduction equipment being offered with the main instrument. Include their individual model numbers.

Equipment in context

Systems for
asking better questions.

We consider equipment from research upgrades and programme changes. Each enquiry is assessed on the actual instrument and its condition.

Thermo Scientific Q Exactive HF-X with connected chromatography equipment

High-resolution mass spectrometry

The mass spectrometer and its front end.

Orbitrap and Q-TOF systems, associated chromatography, sources and workstations. Tell us how the system is configured, not just the model on its front panel.

01 / Proteomics

Separation matters.

Nano-flow LC, autosamplers and sample-introduction options can be an important part of the equipment package.

02 / Structural characterisation

Describe the installed options.

For native-MS or ion-mobility setups, identify the exact platform and any specialist hardware included.

03 / Automation

Remember the supporting equipment.

Preparation stations and liquid handling may be offered alongside the analytical system. A complete list prevents useful components being overlooked.

Field note / Preparing an enquiry

A label photograph
is a good beginning.
A system overview is better.

Include one wide photograph of the complete setup, then closer images of the instrument and module labels.

  • Describe the most recent use and any known faults.
  • List sources, pumps, LC modules and attached accessories.
  • Identify the computer and software included, subject to transfer review.
  • Give the instrument location and expected availability.

Workflow brief

Show how the pieces fit together.

A purification instrument, detector and workstation may form one setup—or belong to three owners. Map the offered workflow before splitting the list.

Workflow brief

Answer six focused prompts, review a plain-text summary, then carry it into your enquiry. Unknown details are welcome.
