Eksigent introduced the cHiPLC-nanoflex System, delivering improved reproducibility and ease of use to proteomics research. The system is a docking station for up to three microfluidic chips that contain nanoLC or trap columns. Eksigent’s proprietary EksPort microconnector system ensures reliable and consistent fluidic connections to facilitate column changes, according to the company. Chips can be interchanged in seconds, with minimal dead volume to compromise resolution. The proprietary microfabrication process used for both the trap chips and analytical column chips delivers exceptional column-to-column reproducibility, according to Eksigent.
The cHiPLC-nanoflex can be added to any of Eksigent’s nanoLC systems. It can also be used with Applied Biosystems Tempo nano LC systems. cHiPLC-nanoflex and Eksigent’s nanoLC systems can be integrated with most mass spectrometers including Thermo, Applied Biosystems/MDS SCIEX and Bruker Daltonics. A built-in 10-port nano valve allows for easy switching between different types of experiments such as direct injection and trap loading.
