Llantrisant, UK (June 6, 2011): ALMSCO International, a division of Markes International Ltd., today announces that it is showcasing its state-of-the-art bench-top time of flight (TOF) mass spectrometer, BenchTOF-dx at ASMS 2011. The instrument is specially designed to generate truly classical electron impact ionization (EI) spectra for gas chromatography (GC) and comprehensive GC/GC applications. It enables users to screen samples at trace levels, offering optimal sensitivity without comprising speed of analyses and selectivity. ALMSCO also highlights its recently launched TargetView software designed to automate and improve detection and measurement of multiple target chemicals in complex GC/MS data sets. When combined with Markes International’s market-leading systems for thermal desorption (TD), it provides a total solution for analysing ultra-trace level components in complex samples. These innovations are being exhibited on ALMSCO’s booth #42 at ASMS 2011, Denver, Colorado, June 5 - June 9, 2011.
Laboratories screening samples at trace levels require a method that offers a blend of sensitivity to enable analysts to monitor the entire sample and enough selectivity to enhance confidence in the results. The BenchTOF-dx features high definition mass spectrometry (MS) technology and combines speed and resolution with uncompromised spectral quality even at trace concentrations. While high resolution accurate mass (HRAM) mass spectrometry is ideal for demanding applications such as proteomics, high definition MS is an alternative and cost-effective compound screening technique that is suited to applications such as forensics, food safety testing and environmental analyses. The novel method enables analysts to screen for both known and unknown compounds at much lower levels with a high degree of definition and clarity. Trace compounds can be clearly identified, quantified and differentiated from one another, while also retaining the required attributes of speed and selectivity.

Integrated capabilities offer deeper, broader understanding of proteomes and biological pathways
DENVER (June 6, 2011) - Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today introduced new capabilities for laboratories performing a wide range of qualitative and quantitative proteomics workflows. These capabilities integrate seamlessly with the full portfolio of industry leading solutions offered by Thermo Fisher Scientific, providing laboratories with end-to-end workflows that make a deeper and broader understanding of proteomes and biological pathways possible. The new products can be seen in the Thermo Scientific hospitality suite at the Hyatt Regency in Centennial Ballroom D, during the 59th Annual ASMS Conference on Mass Spectrometry and Allied Topics, from June 5–9 in Denver.
“True realization of comprehensive proteomics is an enormous challenge.”
said Andreas Huhmer, proteomics marketing director for life sciences mass spectrometry at Thermo Fisher Scientific. “Overcoming this challenge requires innovative tools that make proteomics analyses more comprehensive in every way. New capabilities, such as our exclusive sample preparation chemistry that targets all kinases in a proteome, will significantly increase the number of proteins scientists can find. Others such as SimGlycan software, offer much more precise characterization of post translational modifications."

SAGE-N RESEARCH SIGNS AN EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENT WITH THE U.S. ARMY EDGEWOOD CHEMICAL BIOLOGICAL CENTER TO LICENSE TECHNOLOGY FOR MICROBIAL IDENTIFICATION
MILPITAS, 2 June 2011 — Sage-N Research, Inc., the world leader in computational proteomics, today announced that it entered into an exclusive license agreement with the U.S. Army Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC) to commercialize a revolutionary new platform for rapid and sensitive detection and identification of pathogenic microorganisms in fluid media.
This license allows the integration of ECBC’s Agents of Biological Organs Identification (ABOID) system into the company’s existing SORCERER proteomics platform, enabling rapid and cost-effective detection and identification of microorganisms. Currently, the ABOID system can identify 4500 different bacteria, viruses and fungi.
“This cutting edge technology enables identification of microorganisms down to strain level in minutes, rather than hours,” said ECBC Senior Scientist Charles Wick, Ph.D. “This proves very successful for infectious disease identification and a range of other potential applications in military, medical, pharmaceutical, food and public safety areas.”
The new platform will utilize the Computational Power of Sage-N Research’s SORCERER and Mass Spectrometry based Proteomics to identify bacteria, viruses, fungi and other cellular material without the need for growing cultures, or any prior knowledge about them.
In addition, Ali Pervez, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Sage-N Research comments: “Proteomics is a rapidly emerging field, and Proteomics will play a key role in Life Science and Medical Research over the next five years. We are excited to use our core expertise to bring the power of this cutting edge technology and our SORCERER platform to a wider audience including Infectious diseases, clinical, environmental and food testing markets.”
