ZURICH, Switzerland and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Biognosys, a leading inventor and developer of mass spectrometry-based proteomics solutions, has announced the company’s attendance at the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) Annual Conference from June 4 to June 8 in Houston, Texas where the company will launch Spectronaut 18 and present major scientific and technological advances for its proprietary proteomics research software and services.
Biognosys’ scientific presence includes a breakfast seminar introducing Spectronaut 18, along with three oral presentations and nine posters. In addition, their team of scientific experts will be present at booth #819.
“Our continuous commitment to innovation in mass spectrometry-based proteomics is once again emphasized by our significant contribution to the ASMS scientific program,” said Lukas Reiter, Ph.D., Chief Technology Officer of Biognosys. “With this major release of Spectronaut 18, soon after the Spectronaut 17 release, we show our eagerness to innovate and our ability to develop at a fast pace to provide users of all instrument types with the best possible performance in DIA proteomics. Our presentations on TrueDiscovery and TrueTarget demonstrate the value of mass spectrometry proteomics for drug discovery and clinical trials.”
Further, Biognosys will participate in the activities of its strategic partner, Bruker. Lukas Reiter will present on “dia-PASEF empowered discovery proteomics” during their Breakfast Workshop Pharma on Tuesday, June 6, and Biognosys’ portfolio of proteomics services, software, and kits will be showcased in Bruker’s hospitality suite. A major launch arising from the strategic partnership is the combination of Biognosys’ iRT kit together with the Bruker ProteoScape™ product.
Spectronaut 18: DIA data analysis with unprecedented throughput and efficiency
Biognosys will launch the latest version of Spectronaut during their Monday, June 5, breakfast seminar “Spectronaut 18: Limitless Throughput. Unparalleled Efficiency.” The seminar features presentations from Biognosys’ CTO Lukas Reiter, and guest speakers Gregory Potts (AbbVie) and Aline Martins (Scripps Research Institute).
In addition, Biognosys will present “A Systematic Characterization of LC-MS Features Sheds Light on the Full Potential of DIA Identification” during the oral sessions on Tuesday, June 6.
Furthermore, the company will present four posters highlighting recent improvements in Spectronaut, including the application of cutting-edge neural networks to improve protein identification and the use of Biognosys’ library-free directDIA+ workflow for comprehensive quantification across the proteome.
TrueDiscovery: Accelerating biomarker discovery in oncology and neuroscience
TrueDiscovery is Biognosys’ proprietary mass spectrometry platform for large-scale proteomics, providing unrivaled depth and sensitivity across the entire proteome. In the oral sessions on Wednesday, June 7, Biognosys will be showing how TrueDiscovery has been used to characterize more than 15,000 proteins across 22 samples in a single shot in their presentation “Deepest Profiling of Human Tissues to Date Sheds Light on Expressed Proteins” and demonstrating how automation can cut hands-on experimental time by up to 90% in the talk “A Universal Workflow for Automated Sample Preparation in Large-Scale Proteomics.”
Biognosys will also be presenting two posters demonstrating the depth and sensitivity of TrueDiscovery for a range of applications, including identifying proteomic signatures in urine and comparing plasma and cerebrospinal fluid biomarker profiles in Alzheimer’s disease. A further poster reveals the results of a head-to-head comparison between TrueDiscovery and the Olink Explore affinity-based platform.
TrueTarget: High-resolution drug target identification and deconvolution
TrueTarget is Biognosys’ unique platform for exploring drug-target interactions, underpinned by limited proteolysis mass spectrometry (LiP-MS). One of Biognosys’ posters will showcase a detailed proteome-wide mapping of the binding sites of two CDK inhibitors.
iRT Kit: Now recommended in combination with Bruker ProteoScape™
For real-time system suitability monitoring, Bruker now supports and recommends using the Biognosys iRT kit. The Bruker ProteoScape™ software is introduced by Bruker at ASMS as a real-time software suite for computational 4D-Proteomics™ including monitoring and optimization of system performance for the timsTOF platform. The software’s real-time system quality control (QC) workflow is based on the widely used Biognosys iRT kit. The kit contains eleven non-naturally occurring synthetic peptides in a pooled mix. Peptides have been carefully optimized for stability, sensitivity and even spacing in retention time over the gradient and in the peptide CCS dimension.
