APAF選擇TripleTOF5600系統推進蛋白質組學研究

　　全球生命科學分析技術的 領導者AB SCIEX公司，今天宣布，澳大利亞的蛋白質組分析中心(APAF)選擇了AB SCIEX TripleTOF 5600系統，通過顯著增加蛋白質組覆蓋率來幫助推進蛋白質組學研究。TripleTOF 5600 系統是生命科學產業界最快、最靈敏的高分辨率質譜，用于高性能的定性和定量分析。APAF是全球首家采用這一突破性科學技術的實驗室。TripleTOF 5600系統在本周澳大利亞悉尼舉辦的HUPO會議上展出。

　　APAF是蛋白質組學服務的領先供應商和1995年“蛋白質組學”一詞的誕生地，其核心蛋白質組學服務都集中在差異蛋白質表達譜分析，這推動了對于改善人類健康、農業和食品研究的生物標志物的搜索。 TripleTOF 5600系統將使APAF的科學家們，來表征那些在一個生物系統內變化的蛋白質，而且比其實驗室現有系統表征得更深入更精確。

　　TripleTOF 5600系統是新一代的質譜分析儀器，并且是唯一的一套將最高的靈敏度、高速度、高分辨率集于一身的系統。相比從前可獲得的技術，科學家們可使用TripleTOF 5600更輕松地產生樣品更高質量的信息，并提高生產力和工作效率。 TripleTOF 5600系統還提供了強大的新的工作流程進行全面勘探，快速分析和高分辨率的定量分析復雜的樣品，不與任何其他的質譜儀可能的生命科學家。這些工作流程，為科學家提供了更大的靈活性，以一臺儀器上做實驗的多種類型的。

　　Mark Molloy，麥格理大學澳大利亞蛋白質組分析實驗室副教授、主任

　　“TripleTOF 5600 系統將使我們能夠獲得一個覆蓋在蛋白質組顯著增加，才能夠真正改善我們的地圖在我們的比較分析差異表達的蛋白質的能力。我們可以獲取大量數據，具有精度高，在更大的速度比目前的方法提供了機會，重新確定我們的工作流程，采取這種靈活性的優勢。我們第一次有能力結合起來，在同一臺儀器定量定性鑒別，這意味著我們可以我們的學術和商業客戶提供高品質的成果。”

　　Andy Boorn，AB SCIEX首席運營官

　　“開拓突破性的技術在TripleTOF AB SCIEX 5600系統，是定義如何將進行質譜向前發展。該系統解決了未滿足的需要更快，更準確的答案各種各樣的挑戰在分析科學。我們有信心將在澳大利亞蛋白質組分析設施以及全球其他實驗室的力量方面取得了長足的進步。”

　　SYDNEY -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- AB SCIEX, a global leader in life science analytical technologies, today announced that the Australian Proteome Analysis Facility (APAF) has chosen the AB SCIEX TripleTOF? 5600 System to help advance proteomics research by significantly expanding proteome coverage. The TripleTOF? 5600 System is the life science industry’s fastest and most sensitive high-resolution mass spectrometer for high-performance qualitative and quantitative analysis. APAF is among the first laboratories in the world to adopt this groundbreaking scientific technology. The TripleTOF? 5600 System is on display at the HUPO conference this week in Sydney, Australia.

　　APAF is a leading provider of proteomic services and was the birthplace of the term “proteomics” in 1995. Its core proteomic services are focused on differential protein expression analysis, which drives the search for biomarkers that can be used to improve human health, agriculture and food research. The TripleTOF? 5600 System will enable APAF scientists to characterize which proteins are changing within a biological system with much greater depth and accuracy than what they can currently achieve with the existing systems in their laboratory.

　　The TripleTOF? 5600 System is a new generation of mass spectrometry instrumentation and it is the only system that combines the highest available sensitivity and speed with high resolution. Scientists can utilize it to generate better quality information from samples more easily than previously possible, increasing productivity and efficiency. The TripleTOF? 5600 System also provides life scientists with access to powerful new workflows for comprehensive exploration, rapid profiling and high-resolution quantitation of complex samples that are not possible with any other mass spectrometer. These workflows give scientists greater flexibility to do multiple types of experiments on one instrument.

　　Mark Molloy, Associate Professor and Director, Australian Proteome Analysis Facility at Macquarie University

　　“The TripleTOF? 5600 System will enable us to gain a significant increase in proteome coverage that will really improve our ability to map differentially expressed proteins in our comparative analyses. We can acquire mass data with high accuracy at greater speed than current approaches, providing the opportunity to redefine our workflows to take advantage of this flexibility. For the first time we have the capability to combine qualitative identification with quantitation in the same instrument, and this means we can provide high quality outcomes to our academic and commercial customers.”

　　Andy Boorn, Chief Operating Officer, AB SCIEX

　　“By pioneering the breakthrough technology in the TripleTOF? 5600 System, AB SCIEX is defining how mass spectrometry will be conducted going forward. This system addresses an unmet need for faster, more accurate answers to a variety of challenges within analytical science. We are confident it will power significant advancements at the Australian Proteome Analysis Facility as well as other laboratories globally.”
