Problem
Researchers using nano‑flow liquid chromatography‑mass spectrometry (nano‑LC‑MS) often face limited availability of high‑performance columns and electrospray emitters, leading to inconsistent chromatographic resolution, frequent clogging, and poor temperature control, which reduce sensitivity and reproducibility, especially for low‑input proteomics.
Solution
MicrOmics Technologies supplies a full portfolio of nano‑LC components designed to address these limitations. The company offers fully packed C18 columns (30–150 µm i.d., 5–25 cm length, 1.6 µm particles, 100 Å pores) and “pack‑your‑own” columns with frit‑less tips that lower back‑pressure and minimize clogging. A range of electrospray emitters (10 µm and 20 µm i.d., constant‑diameter or pulled‑etched designs) provides stable, high‑efficiency ionization for single‑cell and low‑input proteomics. The ColuMate™ heating system delivers independent, precisely controlled (30–60 °C ± 0.5 °C) temperature regulation for two columns simultaneously, improving chromatographic reproducibility. All components are offered with optional fittings or integrated emitters, enabling users to tailor column geometry and emitter configuration to specific LC‑MS workflows.
Target Audience
Primary customers are academic and industrial laboratories performing nano‑LC‑MS‑based proteomics, metabolomics, and small‑molecule analysis that require high‑resolution chromatography and reliable electrospray ionization.
