IonOpticks at #ASMS2025: Our biggest presence yet.
June 1, 2025 @ 8:00 am – June 5, 2025 @ 5:00 pm UTC+10
Thanks for having us, Baltimore.
We’re back home in Melbourne after a sensational ASMS 2025.
Thank you to the American Society for Mass Spectrometry and to the U.S. for once again being great hosts and putting on such an unforgettable event.
The amount of support and interest from the research community in our new releases has been overwhelming. Good thing we had more people at the booth than ever! It never gets tiring hearing about the multitude of ways mass spectrometry is being used to shape the future of research. Just when we think we’ve heard it all, we learn something groundbreaking. To play even a small part in that is an honour.
Although, with over 40 posters and seven oral presentations citing Aurora Series columns, our part is slowly growing. It’s great to be featured in your work. You can see the full list by scrolling down and expanding the ‘Posters’ section.
OUR PRESENCE

Monday, June 2 from 10:30am – 2:30pm
(MP 727) Enhanced proteoform identification in top-down proteomic workflows using packed emitter columns
ABSTRACT
Top-down proteomics has emerged as a powerful analytical approach for characterising intact proteins and their proteoforms offering unique insights into protein structure, post-translational modifications (PTMs), and biological function. Proteoform identification is generally achieved by separation of intact proteins using reversed-phase liquid chromatography (LC) followed by fragmentation and detection on a mass spectrometer. One of the biggest challenges in the field is the inability to identify different proteoforms due to overlapping separation profiles created by limited peak capacity. To address this, we developed a novel packed emitter chromatography column containing a C4 stationary phase. We demonstrate that this column achieves narrow peak widths and sensitive ionisation enabling the efficient separation of complex intact proteins mixtures.

FEATURED LITERATURE
Achieve high sensitivity and throughput in low-input proteomics with Aurora Rapid 8×75
We’re pleased to have released our latest application note at ASMS 2025.
These results demonstrate that the Aurora Rapid 8 cm × 75 µm columns, operated at different SPD methods, deliver robust and reproducible performance for low-input proteomics. Across hundreds of runs, the columns maintained stable backpressure, narrow peak widths and high protein and peptide identifications – confirming column suitability for large-scale, high-throughput proteomic applications.
