Maurice Instruments
Capillary Electrophoresis Systems for Automated icIEF and CE-SDS Analysis
A Workhorse Capillary Electrophoresis System for Protein Purity, Identity, and Heterogeneity Analysis
The MauriceTM system enables protein charge and size analysis on the same platform. Its simple plug-and-play design lets you switch between icIEF and CE-SDS assays with ease. Just pop in one of the preassembled cartridges, drop in your sample vials or a 96-well plate, and hit start. You'll complete your method development in a day and get high-resolution, reproducible data in minutes. Get compliant data with either Compass for iCE, Waters™ Empower® CDS, or Thermo Scientifc™ Chromeleon® CDS.
How can Maurice Instruments help you?
Get high-quality data to simplify decision-making
The Maurice system maintains peak resolution throughout the run because of whole-column imaging. High-quality data are generated, giving you insights into your molecule and guiding your next steps.
Get consistent results with thoughtful automation
Pre-assembled, ready-to-use icIEF and CE-SDS cartridges fully automate conditioning, sample injection, and system cleanup, thereby decreasing the chances of variability in results.
The optional On-Board Mixing (OBM) feature automatically mixes reagents with samples right before the run, thus preserving sample stability. This is a very useful feature for ADC (antibody drug conjugates) analysis.
