March 2008, Sunnyvale, CA—Delivering the optimal front-end solution for proteomics applications, Dionex introduces the UltiMate^® 3000 Proteomics Multidimensional LC (MDLC) system. Featuring an intelligent combination of hardware, software, and chemistries, the system establishes a new benchmark in turnkey LC solutions. The UltiMate 3000 provides performance, reliability, and ease of use, delivering a powerful combination of Dionex Intelligent LC (LCi) features.

With the UltiMate 3000 Proteomics MDLC System, Dionex adds an important new member to the LCi family. It is the most versatile and powerful MDLC system on the market, with embedded flow rate capabilities from nano
(50 nL/min) to analytical (2.5 mL/min). Patented UltiFlow^™  technology ensures constant flow rates, independent of mobile phase compositions or (column) backpressures, providing the best chromatographic results.

The UltiMate 3000 Proteomics MDLC achieves these goals with a blend of innovative technologies, optimized configurations, and highly robust components. With its modular design, the system is easily tailored to any application requirement, whether separations of small peptide mixtures or advanced off-line 2-D LC separations of complex protein mixtures. Off-line 2-D LC is supported by patented automated microfraction collection and re-injection technology integrated in the autosampler module. In combination with the Chromeleon^® Chromatography Management System or the Dionex Chromato–graphy MS link (DCMS^Link) software, trouble-free operation throughout the life of the system is assured.
