Microsaic Systems has announced the official launch of its latest point-of-need mass spectrometer at Pittcon 2019.

Microsaic’s MiD® ProteinID allows users to verify target proteins, metabolites, by-products and feed-stocks throughout the whole bioprocessing value chain.

By providing deterministic characterisation for proteins and small molecules at the point-of-need, MiD® ProteinID helps to ensure critical process parameters and critical quality attributes are attained timely, and simultaneously, which is vital for biologics compliance.

MiD® ProteinID offers laboratory-level performance on an industrial scale, due to its impressive performance on a robust, and small scale.

Glenn Tracey, CEO, Microsaic, commented: “Our MiD®ProteinID system is a process analytical game changer. Bioprocessing operators can now monitor feedstocks, metabolites and target proteins in just one measurement, accelerating time-to-market for new biologics, and assisting in process and product compliance. Mass spectrometry can now offer superlative performance to high value manufacturing industries at the point-of-need, providing much greater insights over ubiquitous optical sensors, such as UV, Raman, and NIR.”

About Microsaic

Microsaic Systems plc (AIM: MSYS) is a high technology company developing chip-based, bench-top and point-of-analysis mass spectrometry (“MS”) instruments that are designed to improve the efficiency of pharmaceutical R&D and manufacturing. The Company works with established global life science companies to co-develop new solutions to improve productivity in the development of small molecule and novel biologic (peptides, antibodies) medicines. MS is a powerful method of analysis to enable earlier decision making relating to product identification, purity and bioactivity, and is the analytical technique of choice for biochemists across many industry sectors.

The Microsaic’s compact MiD® MS systems retain the functionality of larger conventional MS systems, while being easier to use by non-specialists, and consume less energy and have lower running costs.
