Mass Spectrometer for Biological Discovery
The Orbitrap™ Astral™ mass spectrometer was designed to accelerate the discovery of new proteins and advance precision medicine. Developed by Thermo Fisher Scientific, the company claims the new Astral analyzer combines fast throughput, high sensitivity, and deep proteome coverage to allow researchers to uncover proteins that previously evaded detection. The new Astral analyzer builds on Thermo Fisher’s Orbitrap mass spectrometry platform with novel technology to deliver up to two times deeper proteome coverage and up to four times more throughput compared to current mass spectrometers.
