Cohesive Technologies Inc. Announces Interface for Micromass Mass Spectrometers
FRANKLIN, Mass., June 5 – Cohesive Technologies Inc. (www.cohesivetech.com) announced today that it has developed an interface with Micromass’s MassLynx software. This new interface will allow Cohesive and Micromass to expand their affiliation, enabling further LC/MS/MS options for their customers’ drug discovery and development efforts.
The interface allows sample information to pass from Cohesive’s Aria Operating System (OS) software, which is used on their TurboFlow® and Multiplexing LC Systems, to Micromass’s MassLynx software used for their mass spectrometers. Cohesive added this new interface to its latest Aria OS software, version 1.4, to enable interaction with MassLynx sample queue. Aria OS also generates a complete sample list for each batch to be used when post-processing is done with QuanLynx software.
John Brann, Vice President, Instrumentation, explains, “We’re extremely pleased by the endorsements from Micromass and the support they’ve devoted to this project.
The interface will greatly enhance the interaction between Cohesive’s and
Micromass’s technologies. As a result, we are able to offer our customers yet another excellent LC/MS/MS solution.”
Cohesive’s Aria software provides automated, online operation of its Turbulent Flow and Multiplexing LC Systems. The software controls pump, valve, and autosampler operation, as well as the acquisition system interface to optimize productivity and performance. Aria OS manages all aspects of the process once the samples are loaded and allows a single batch or as many as four sample batches to run simultaneously—each with a unique method.
Cohesive Technologies develops, manufactures, and markets novel liquid chromatography systems and chemistries for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and clinical diagnostic marketplace. These products have made Cohesive a leader in creating new tools for high-throughput bioanalysis. Detailed information about Cohesive Technologies’ products and technology can be found on its Web site, which also has a bibliography of publications by Cohesive customers describing their successful use of the technology.
