Congratulations to SCIEX Separations (a division of AB SCIEX), for winning the 2014 Pittcon Editors' Award Bronze Medal for their CESI 8000 High Performance Separation-ESI Module.

Mass spectrometry (MS) has become an indispensible technology for the analysis of compounds of biological interest. Our improvements in assay sensitivity and reduction in ion suppression reveal new information that is critical to your research, whether you’re characterizing a therapeutic protein, identifying the proteins that make up a specific proteome, analyzing post-transitional modifications, or studying a metabolomic fingerprint.

The company have developed a new front-end separation and ionization technology called CESI, which combines the high efficiency and ultra-low flow of capillary electrophoresis (CE) with an integrated electrospray ionization source. This optimization of electrospray ionization (ESI) into the nanoflow region has shown to greatly improve assay sensitivity and reduce ion suppression.
