Automated HX-MS technology for protein functional analysis

Proteins are important molecules. They are the workhorses of your cells and increasingly, they are being developed as new drugs (biopharmaceuticals). Proteins are large and complex and determining their properties is difficult. Our best tools for this are very impractical to use in a high throughput setting, where 100’s of samples need analyzing. In this project, we are improving the ruggedness and throughput of one of these exemplary tools (HX-MS), and developing focused software to support it. Our partner (Trajan Scientific and Medical Inc.) will gain access to advanced HX-MS systems and concepts that can help them improve their product offering in this space.
