ProtumLink Extend Series
ProtumLink Extend 25cm
Product Description
Deep Proteome Discovery
Core Benefit: High Resolution for Complex Proteomes
The 25 cm column is developed for researchers requiring higher resolving power to confidently analyze complex or fractionated samples.
Chromatographic Excellence (FWHM Resolution)
At 400 nL/min, FWHM values of ~4.2–5.5 s across 30–60 min gradients offer the extended separation necessary to reduce co-elution and co-isolation, which directly enhances identification depth and quantification quality. This format is particularly effective for biomarker discovery and deep profiling applications.
Backpressure Flexibility & Workflow Versatility
Operating within 100–800 nL/min, the 25 cm column is optimized for nanoflow high-resolution separations on UHPLC systems. It provides deeper biological insight without requiring excessively long runs, making it suitable for advanced discovery and complex experimental designs.
Pressure profiles
Compatibilities
Extend columns are supplied in a Thermo EasySpray–compatible cassette format, enabling direct installation on EasySpray ion sources without additional emitter hardware or external high-voltage components. Electrical contact and emitter alignment are established automatically through the cassette interface. The Extend format follows widely used heater geometries, enabling compatibility with common external column heating systems. 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 while preserving zero-dead-volume performance. This configuration supports reliable nanospray performance, easy system setup, and seamless operation on Thermo Orbitrap platforms equipped with EasySpray sources.

Why We Use a Trusted C18 Phase
We rely on a well-established C18 material from Dr. Maisch because it has been widely used in LC–MS–based proteomics for nearly two decades and is known for its stable bonding chemistry, consistent material quality, and reproducible performance. This makes it a dependable foundation for achieving high-quality peptide separations across diverse workflows. The 1.9 µm C18 particles provide a balanced combination of peak capacity, mechanical robustness, and retention stability, supporting sharp and predictable peak shapes under the aqueous mobile-phase conditions typical for proteomics.
