We are excited to announce the installation of a new timsTOF Pro 2, expanding the analytical capabilities of the Laboratory for Biological Mass Spectrometry – Isabel Moura, Associated Laboratory for Green Chemistry BIOSCOPE - PROTEOMASS Bioscope Group Associated Laboratory for Green Chemistry (LAQV/REQUIMTE)
This addition introduces 4D Multi-Omics to our platform, enabling enhanced separation power, improved sensitivity, and deeper proteome coverage. By combining trapped ion mobility with high-resolution mass spectrometry, the timsTOF Pro 2 allows us to distinguish highly similar molecules and identify thousands of proteins, metabolites, lipids, drugs, and toxins within a single analysis.
Our analytical infrastructure now integrates complementary technologies: two high-resolution QTOF systems for robust quantitative workflows and the timsTOF Pro 2 for ultra-deep, ion mobility-enhanced proteomics. This multi-platform setup enables several levels of proteome depth, allowing us to tailor analyses to the biological question rather than simply extending gradient durations.
We now immediately offer:
• Rapid proteome profiling with robust quantification
• Medium-depth proteomics for comparative studies
• Deep proteome coverage for pathway-level biology
• Ultra-deep 4D Multi-Omics proteomics using ion mobility separation
• Targeted follow-up and verification workflows
In parallel, we are progressively implementing 4D Lipidomics and 4D Metabolomics, further expanding our multi-omics analytical capabilities.
This flexible strategy allows researchers to choose between throughput, quantitative robustness, or maximum proteome depth — all within the same analytical platform.
These capabilities support projects in biomarker discovery, precision medicine, toxicology, food authentication, forensic applications, and pharmaceutical development, while enabling more information-rich and sustainable analytical workflows.
Excited to see the science this platform will enable.
The first in Portugal!
