UniESI Source

Using a single ion source interfaced with mass spectrometers, you can achieve ultrasensitive single-cell proteomics, and reproducible high-throughput quantitation of proteins or small molecules. The UniESI Source is a game-changing product. A truly open-source end-to-end solution that puts an end to juggling 3-4 ion sources with different tubing connections on the same mass spectrometer.
