A unique iKnife mass spectrometry system at CPSBB obtains molecular information from a range of sample types in seconds!
Center of Plant Systems Biology and Biotechnology
The research we do makes use of a wide range of disciplines in biological sciences, including molecular biology, bioche
There are only a few of these high throughput analytical mass spectrometry systems in Europe and we are еxtremely proud that one of them is at CPSBB!
There is also a unique additional hand-held sampling device to our MS system - iKnife!
The innovative iKnife produces information-rich vapor directly from the surface of the sample, which when analyzed by a Q-TOF MS, provides analysts with an accurate molecular profile in seconds!
This eliminates the need for sample preparation and chromatographic separation, allowing an accurate mass MS profile to be collected in the space of just a few seconds per sample. It quickly determines differences within and between the samples, and identifies molecular markers responsible for sample differences.
This will save time and will help our scientific team to obtain easily valuable molecular information from a range of sample types!
