timsTOF Pro - The new standard for shotgun proteomics
Dig deeper into the proteome

Powered by PASEF
Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics has become a powerful technology for the identification and quantification of thousands of proteins. However, the coverage of complete proteomes is still very challenging due to the limited speed, sensitivity and resolution of current mass spectrometers.

The timsTOF Pro uses the Parallel Accumulation Serial Fragmentation (PASEF) acquisition method to provide extremely high speed and sensitivity to reach new depths in shotgun proteomics and phosphoproteomics using low sample amounts.

Achieve near 100% duty cycle for shotgun proteomics
A near 100% duty cycle for high sensitivity, high speed shotgun proteomics can now be achieved with the dual TIMS technology. The novel design allows for ions to be accumulated in the front section, while ions in the rear section are simultaneously released depending on their ion mobility. This process is called Parallel Accumulation Serial Fragmentation or PASEF.

PASEF digs deeper into the proteome
The timsTOF Pro powered by PASEF offers sequencing speed > 100 Hz without losing sensitivity by synchronizing the quadrupole isolation mass window with the elution time of the specific peptide packages from the TIMS funnel.
