Jesper Olsen's #iSCMS2025 keynote highlighted three landmark SCP studies with breakthrough depth, speed, and sample requirements. In all three studies, Aurora columns were central to achieving the sensitivity, resolution, and robustness required for cutting-edge single-cell and low-input proteomics.

Ultra-sensitive metaproteomics redefines the dark metaproteome, uncovering host-microbiome interactions and drug targets in intestinal diseases - IonOpticks Xian et al.'s Nature Communications study into ultra-sensitive metaproteomics uses an IonOpticks Aurora Ultimate 25x75 CSI C18 UHPLC column.

uMetaP, an ultra-sensitive metaproteomic solution that leverages cutting-edge technologies, achieves unprecedented sensitivity in exploring complex microbial communities. Achieved by combining uMetaP with the Aurora Ultimate 25×75 CSI column and timsTOF Ultra.

Great #iSCMS2025 poster by @mari-mardamshin.bsky.social, who presented mxDVP, integrating high-plex microscopy with ultra-sensitive MS to explore pancreatic islet heterogeneity at unprecedented resolution. Evosep One with Orbitrap Astral / timsTOF SCP, with Aurora Elite columns on both instruments.

#iSCMS2025 in Chicago was a fantastic opportunity to connect and share ideas driving single cell research forward. Thanks to the organisers for a great think-tank event. Keep the conversation going with Zac Anderson on your research needs and how IonOpticks can support.

Today at #iSCMS2025 hosted by UIC, Zac Anderson shared how Aurora Series® columns and HeatSync™ enhance single-cell workflows with sensitivity, consistency, and high-throughput separations. Visit the IonOpticks booth to learn how Aurora® can power your low-input proteomics.

It’s been a great few days at #MSACL2025, focusing on the patient impact & how our products support workflows in the clinical environment. Visit Zac & Erik at the IonOpticks booth to discover how Aurora Series columns can help bridge the gap between your research goals and clinical applications.

A great showcase of @sciex.bsky.social's ZenoTOF 8600 system at #MSACL2025 today. Over 268,000 precursor and 12,000+ protein group IDs from just 200 ng of sample, with the Aurora Ultimate 25x75 XS & using Zeno SWATH DIA on the ZenoTOF 8600.
@davidcolquhoun.bsky.social, Ihor Batruch, & Patrick Pribil

A powerful demo of the Orbitrap Astral Zoom in Thermo's poster at #MSACL2025. Separation performed on Vanquish Neo with Aurora Ultimate 25x75 XT / Aurora Rapid 8x75 XT. 10% improvement in protein group IDs compared to the Orbitrap Astral for 50 pg of HeLa digest, and a 5% improvement for 250 pg.

Mining the plasma proteome: Evaluation of enrichment methods for depth and reproducibility - IonOpticks Roger et al.'s study into plasma proteome mining uses IonOpticks Aurora Elite 15x75 CSI and Aurora Ultimate 25x75 CSI C18 UHPLC columns.

Plasma proteomics study benchmarks three enrichment methods using timsTOF + Evosep One/nanoElute with Aurora Elite 15x75 & Aurora Ultimate 25x75 CSI columns. Proteograph gave 6.3x more proteins with best reproducibility. Each method enriches different protein classes.
