Sunnyvale, CA—Dionex expands its family of industry-leading Rapid Separation LC (RSLC) systems with the new UltiMate® 3000 RSLCnano system. The RSLCnano system is ideal for ultrafast and ultrahigh-resolution separations of proteins and peptides for proteomics research. The system’s unrivaled flexibility is provided by an extensive flowpressure footprint, delivering continuous, direct flow rates from 20 nL/min to 50 ìL/min at backpressures of up to 800 bar (11,600 psi) for nano, capillary, and micro LC analyses. High-precision, zero-sample-loss injections conserve scarce

samples while small gradient delay volumes, unparalleled gradient precision, and high-resolution columns provide high confidence peptide separations and identifications. Snap-in switching valves and new, patent-pending nanoViper™ fingertight fittings make system configuration easy and reliable.

The UltiMate 3000 RSLCnano system supports the most common workflows used in proteomics research, offering solutions for ultrahigh-resolution/ultrafast peptide mapping, on-line sample preconcentration, 2D-LC salt steps, MudPit 2D-LC, and automated off-line 2D-LC. The system is an ideal front-end solution for LC-MS analysis. The Chromeleon® 7 Chromatography Data System software and the DCMSLink™ plug-in provide single-point LC-MS control for all major MS platforms.
