History of Our Innovation
For over two decades, and with over 10,000 cited and peer reviewed publications following on the seminal work published by Gary Valaskovic in Science in 1996, New Objective has led high-sensitivity LC-MS research through innovative life-science sample prep and emitter technologies. Founded in 1997 on PicoTip® technology, New Objective has remained on the cutting edge of nano- and micro-bore chromatography and mass spectrometry through engaging, ongoing communication with our customers, continuous innovation and unwavering commitment to quality.
Portfolio of Our Innovation
Technology – PicoTip Powered®
GlassTip™ – Introduced in 1997, the iconic GlassTip which helped to launch the company and the PicoTip branded line of precision engineered emitters, brought to market the ultimate in sensitivity, high-performance and quality for demanding applications inclusive of intact and native protein analysis, delivering attomole sensitivity which has been widely referenced since its inception.
SilicaTip™ – Introduced in 1997, the widely-used and well-recognized SilicaTip launched the company and the PicoTip branded line of precision engineered emitters and quickly became the standard for the emerging proteomics market. Fabricated from fused-silica and enabling highly-sensitive nanospray analysis with unparalleled tip-to-tip reproducibility and long-lifetime, the SilicaTip has become the gold standard by which all other emitters are measured.
TaperTip™ – Introduced in 1999 with next level performance as part of the PicoTip portfolio, the TaperTip is a rugged and robust precision tool expanding from nanospray to microspray capabilities, manufactured on precision engineered platforms exclusive to New Objective.
Integrated Technology – Zero-Dead Volume
PicoFrit® – Introduced in 1999, PicoFrit is a revolutionary innovation in analysis building on the precision engineered SilicaTip, integrating an emitter and column into one and delivering to the market the standard for low-flow, high-performance analysis and chromatographic separations.
IntegraFrit™ – Introduced in 2000, the IntegraFrit is equally iconic with identical advantages for online sample preparation, building on the revolutionary innovation of the PicoFrit, with zero-dead volume and integral frit technology.
Integrated Solutions – Digital Column Packing
PicoClear™ – Introduced in 2007, a revolutionary true zero-dead volume connection solution integral to the proprietary, custom and digital column packing system at the heart of our column manufacturing.
Integrated Solutions – Lights! Camera! Spray!
PicoView® – Introduced in 1999 PicoView, entered the market as the premier and sole solution for spray visualization, integrating optimized lighting and high-resolution cameras delivering to users around the word the ability to clearly view the spray – nanospray – in real time, for the first time. The power of the clear, high-performing spray visualization of PicoView validated performance and facilitated control reassuring users and operators with its market leading and innovative approach to visualization.
Digital PicoView® – Introduced in 2007, the Digital PicoView solution built on the framework of PicoView furthering the power and control over performance with digital imaging, automated stage actuation and cross-platform compatibility. These features enable even higher resolution imaging, continuous remote monitoring and spray file image capturing with the visualization package. The automated stage delivers positional recall and digital-divert and emitter rinsing capabilities, which maximizes performance with increased instrument uptime.
Universal Flow Station™ – Introduced in 2019, the Universal Flow Station (UFS) enables effortless transition from nano- to micro-flow methods with one source. PicoChip and FlowChip consumables lock into position magnetically. No tools required for installation and removal and no need to swap sources between methods. Fully integrates high voltage, column temperature control, sheath gas (with microflow operations), and emitter position with Chips. Available options include USB video microscope visualization and system to support external trapping columns.
Portable Solutions – Simple, Scalable, Easy-to-Use
PicoChip® – Introduced in 2011, the PicoChip solution for nanoflow LC-MS integrates the industry standard for analysis – the PicoFrit – into a simple, easy-to-use, scalable solution packaged for safety, portability, and unified global workflows.
FlowChip™ – Introduced in 2018, the FlowChip builds on the standard for analysis in the PicoFrit and the simple, easy-to-use, scalable solution of PicoChip, enabling standardized global workflows with its safe, portable self-contained packaging engineered for microflow LC-MS and a portfolio of applications inclusive of Proteomics, Metabolomics and Lipidomics.
