Astral, short for Asymmetric Track Lossless analyzer "Asymmetric", "Track" and "Lossless". The Orbitrap Astral mass spectrometer integrates a quadrupole, an Orbitrap, and a novel Asymmetric Track Lossless (Astral) mass analyzer. It delivers unprecedented processing speed, deeper proteome coverage, higher sensitivity, and superior quantitative accuracy, making it an landmark innovation in the Orbitrap series of mass spectrometers.
Applications
Routine proteomics research
High-depth proteomics analysis
Blood-based proteomics studies
Biomarker screening and validation
Advantages
Higher throughput
Capable of analyzing 300 samples per day, with more than 8,000 proteins identified per sample.
Large-scale translational research
The Orbitrap Astral Zoom mass spectrometer identifies a greater total number of proteomes, and detecting nearly 10 times more proteomes per minute compared to conventional systems.
Higher sensitivity
Through the enhanced low-input mode and TMT HR mode of the Astral mass analyzer, the Orbitrap Astral Zoom mass spectrometer can dramatically increases throughput to thousands of single cells per day through MS1- and MS2-based multi-channel acquisition strategies.

Our Comprehensive Service
At LC Sciences, we offer a genome-wide microRNA expression profiling service using a microarray detection system developed specifically for microRNA detection. Send us your total RNA sample, and we’ll perform all the necessary steps, from sample QC to data analysis. We can perform microarray analysis on a single sample to create an expression profile, or hybridize two samples on the same microarray for dual-sample analysis. This is especially useful when comparing two samples, such as wild-type vs. mutant, or samples treated in different ways.
Our comprehensive “Total RNA to Data” service includes: sample QC, sample preparation and labeling, microRNA detection (hybridization to a µParaflo® microfluidics chip), array scanning and data extraction, and full data analysis.
Within 2–3 weeks, you will receive: original and processed scan images, the array layout and list of sequences, raw and processed data, a list of differentially expressed transcripts (dual-sample arrays only), and a summary report of the results.
