BioTrove Drug Discovery

Applied Biosystems has signed a reseller agreement with BioTrove to offer an end-to-end mass spectrometry-based drug discovery workflow by combining BioTrove's RapidFire MS sample preparation system with mass spectrometers from Applied Biosystems and MDS Analytical Technologies. The RapidFire system, which includes robotics and microfluidic handling for sample preparation and advanced software, can be combined with the API 5000 or API 4000 triple quadrupole mass spectrometers, offering high sensitivity and selectivity, or the 4000 Q Trap hybrid triple quadrupole/linear ion trap mass spectrometer which offers improved quantitative and qualitative analysis within a single system. A single service plan will include application support, instrument maintenance, Applied Biosystems Smart Monitoring Service and other support services.
