Melbourne – September 16, 2026 -- IonOpticks has released Aurora Series 5, a nano-LC column platform that sustained over 10,000 unique protein identifications across more than 1,000 injections in extended laboratory testing, without a rise in backpressure beyond 1,400 runs.

Extended testing confirms durability across 1,400-plus injections on an 8-minute, 120-samples-per-day method

Testing was conducted on a Thermo Scientific Vanquish Neo UHPLC coupled to an Orbitrap Astral Zoom mass spectrometer. IonOpticks says the results allow laboratories to run nanoflow-level depth and sensitivity as a routine, high-throughput workflow rather than reserving it for select experiments.
