The Aurora® Ultimate™ 25 cm x 150 μm is capable of faster flowrates while maintaining high resolution across the gradient.

Peak characteristics

Figure 1: Example peptides were identified across the 60 min 1.5 μl/min condition. Each peptide shows excellent FWHM and symmetry.

Figure 2: Asymmetry factors were calculated for all identified peptides. The Median Asymmetry factor is equal to 1. This indicates majority of peptides show a Gaussian distribution.

Reproducibility

CV by gradient and flow rate

Figure 3: Coefficient of variation was calculated for all identified proteins across the 30, 60 and 90 min conditions and 0.4 and 1.5 μl/min flow rates
(4 replicates). Comparisons of each condition show sub 5.5% median CVs across all samples

Resolution

FWHM by gradient and flow rate

Figure 4: FWHM for all identified peptides were calculated. Each condition shows sub-7 second median FWHM across all gradients and flow rates.

METHODS

100 ng of HeLa tryptic digest was introduced on an NCP3200 Ultimate 3000 LC, separated on a 25 cm x 150 μm Aurora® Ultimate™ column and Bruker Impact II Mass Spectrometer. Solvents were 0.1% formic acid as solvent A and 99.9% Acetonitrile as solvent B. Capillary voltage was set to 1800V, m/z range 200-2000. With AutoMS/MS on, and cycle time 0.5 sec.
