    • NeIon™ Technologies

    NeIon™ Products

    NeIon™ technologies use specifically designed organo-trifluoroborates compounds to label analytes of interest and improve their detection sensitivities in the negative ion mode in Mass Spectrometry (MS). NeIon™ technologies also offer a way to quantitate trace amounts of analytes of interest.

    Organo trifluoroborates are stable, negatively charged molecules that can be used as MS tags.

    • Permanent negative charge (pH independent) unlike –PO3−, –SO3−, –COO− groups (Enhanced sensitivity)
    • Produce (or induce) predictable fragmentation in MS/MS mode (Selectivity)

    Why Negative Ion Mode 

    Negative Mode Analysis

    • Very few MS analyses are performed in negative ion mode
    • Only a handful of molecules are negatively charged
    • Selectively labeling with a negative ion MS tag can significantly enhance (100 to 1000 fold) sensitivity (enhanced signal/noise)
    • To the best of our knowledge, no sensitivity/selectivity enhancing MS tag has been reported for negative ion mode analysis

    Positive Ion Mode Analysis

    • Majority of MS analyses are performed in this mode
    • Most of the molecules (small or big) ionize in positive mode
    • High probability of interference and background noise
    • Sensitivity-enhancing mass tags have been developed for positive mode analysis
    • Crowded IP landscape
