PDF | Installation of Aurora CSI product range onto Bruker's CaptiveSpray source using a Sonation Column Oven
Step 1: setup of UHPLC systems
Gen3 Aurora Series columns may be used in a one column mode (direct injection) or paired with a trapping column.
If using Aurora Series column in direct injection mode:
Please refer to manufacturer's guidelines for operating your UHPLC in a one column mode.
If using Aurora Series column with a trapping column:
We have tested a range of commercially available trap columns for use with our Gen3 Aurora Series columns and have identified the PepMap™ Neo 5 µm C18 300 µm X 5 mm Trap Cartridge as the most compatible. We still get great results and only lose ~5-8% of protein IDs with the inclusion of a trap. In order to achieve the best results, it is absolutely necessary to load and equilibrate the column with 0% ACN. Please keep this in mind if you wish to use the PepMap column with an Aurora column.
