High-performance chromatography for proteomics

IonOpticks designs and manufactures high-performance chromatography solutions for LC-MS-based proteomics.

In LC-MS, chromatography separates the components of complex biological samples before they enter the mass spectrometer, where they can be identified and measured. The quality of that separation has a major influence on how much biological information can ultimately be detected. Our columns are engineered to deliver the precision, sensitivity and reproducibility researchers need to identify and quantify thousands of proteins from complex samples. From deep discovery experiments to high-throughput routine analysis, IonOpticks chromatography helps laboratories generate deeper, more consistent proteomic data. Our flagship Aurora Series 5 combines proven chromatographic performance with CoreJet™ integrated emitter technology and an improved nanoZero® union, delivering greater robustness, spray stability and longevity without compromising analytical performance. Designed by researchers and manufactured in Melbourne Australia, our products support proteomics research around the world, from fundamental biology and biomarker discovery to drug development and the advancement of new medicines.
