Mass spectrometry-based proteomics is today based on high-resolution instruments with high mass accuracy.
This development started around a decade ago and since then, advances in Orbitrap and QTOF instrumentation have occured at a rapid pace.
Over a five year period commencing in 2020, NAPI began upgrading the instrumentation at its various nodes with next generation high-resolution MS-instruments. We will install a range of different instruments that comply with the different expertise areas at each node. NAPI thereby ensures that researchers in Norway always have access to cutting-edge instrumentation that is well-suited to the specific needs of individual projects.
