Sciex Digital PicoView 450 Nanospray Ion Source with Camera for Sciex Mass Spec

The Sciex Digital PicoView 450 Nanospray Ion Source with Camera is a specialized component designed for high-sensitivity liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) applications, particularly when analyzing limited amounts of precious biological samples. This ion source, developed in partnership with New Objective, Inc., is crucial for generating stable sprays at very low flow rates, which is essential for maximizing sensitivity in proteomics and other 'omics' research.

A key feature of the Digital PicoView 450 is its integrated camera and advanced imaging system. This allows users to visualize the nanospray emitter tip and the spray plume in high resolution, facilitating easier tuning, troubleshooting, and optimization of the ionization process. The source provides digitally controlled, repeatable, and reliable positioning from run to run, contributing to enhanced robustness and reproducibility in LC-MS experiments. It is designed for compatibility as an optional nanospray source with various Sciex mass spectrometry systems, including the TripleTOF® 5600, 5600+, 6600, and the Triple Quad/QTRAP® 5500, 6500, and 6500+ systems.

The robust and reliable performance of the Sciex Digital PicoView 450 Nanospray Ion Source, combined with its visual feedback capabilities and compatibility with various nanoflow column options, allows researchers to achieve consistent high performance and meaningful results, reducing time spent on benchmarking and accelerating scientific discovery. It is an indispensable tool for demanding high-sensitivity LC-MS applications where precious or limited samples are involved.
