The ZenoTOF 8600 paired with Aurora Series columns: a powerful combination showcased by @sciex.bsky.social’s Jean-Baptiste Vincendet at PSI-2025. >10,000 protein group IDs from 250 ng K562 cell line. Eager to see what else researchers achieve as adoption of the ZenoTOF 8600 system continues to grow.
