Thermo Fisher Scientific has acquired Proxeon A/S, a supplier of products for proteomics analysis headquartered in Odense, Denmark.
Thermo Fisher Scientific has acquired Proxeon A/S, a supplier of products for proteomics analysis headquartered in Odense, Denmark. The company is said to provide simplified proteomics workflows, including nanoflow liquid chromatography systems, columns, ion sources and bioinformatics software, to meet the need for robust high-sensitivity LC–MS analysis in complex proteomics applications.
Proxeon’s nanoflow liquid chromatography system is claimed to allow reproducible low-nanolitre injections into the mass spectrometer, permitting researchers to improve productivity without comprising performance. The system also provides two-dimensional chromatographic capability to identify more proteins than conventional methods, without the increased complexity of added valves and pumps.
“By offering a high-performance solution that addresses the need for simplified operation, we can meet the increasing demand for LC–MS in proteomics applications,” said Marc N. Casper, president and chief executive officer of Thermo Fisher Scientific. “These systems can be integrated with our ion trap, hybrid and triple quadrupole mass spectrometry systems, in line with our strategy of providing comprehensive LC–MS solutions for both high-end research and routine applications.”
Proxeon will be integrated into Thermo Fisher’s Analytical Technologies Segment.

Characterization and Assessment of Effects of Drying Temperature on Edible Mushrooms with HS-GC–MS
September 6th 2024To gain insight into the effect of drying temperature on its composition, headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC–MS) was used for the identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of 86 mushroom samples that were divided into five groups and dried at different temperatures.
Modern HPLC Strategies: Improving Retention and Peak Shape for Basic Analytes
August 16th 2024In high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), it is common for bases and unreacted ionized silanols on silica-based columns to cause irreproducible retention, broad peaks, and peak tailing when working with basic analytes. David S. Bell, Lead Consultant at ASKkPrime LLC offers innovative HPLC strategies that can help mitigate such issues.
Real-Time Measurement of EPA Regulated HON Compounds and Environmental Pollutants Using SIFT-MS
September 6th 2024This application note describes the determination of method detection limits (MDLs) for the newly regulated HON (Hazardous Organic NESHAP) compounds, which validate SIFT-MS as an effective solution for measuring these toxic VOCs and other environmental pollutants in ambient air, whether at the fence line or in a mobile setting.
