ProtumLink Connect 8cm

The 8 cm format provides additional resolving power over shorter columns while still supporting the speed needed for routine quantitative proteomics.

Measured at 800 nL/min, the column delivers consistent peak widths of ~3.4–4.2 s across 10–20 min gradients, offering focused peak geometry that improves duty-cycle efficiency and quantification reliability. This makes the format well suited for time-sensitive cohort studies and routine translational workflows.

An operational flow window of 100–1500 nL/min allows smooth movement between accelerated profiling and nanoflow-level sensitivity without system changes. The 8 cm length provides a practical balance of speed, resolving power, and robustness, making it suitable for laboratories running a broad mix of LC-MS assays.

Connect columns feature a pre-installed CaptiveSpray Inlet (CSI) adapter at the emitter end, enabling direct use on Bruker CaptiveSpray and CaptiveSpray Ultra ion sources without additional emitter hardware. At the inlet side, an integrated liquid junction allows straightforward connection to nano-LC systems using standard 10-32 threaded female fittings, enabling fast column exchange and preserving zero-dead-volume performance.

In Bruker configurations, grounding is applied through the liquid junction, ensuring proper electrical contact and stable electrospray operation.

This configuration provides a robust nanospray interface with minimal post-column dispersion, stable spray performance, and seamless integration with Bruker timsTOF platforms.
