Molecular imaging system rapifleX™ MALDI Tissuetyper™

3D

The rapifleX® MALDI Tissuetyper® re-defines the key performance measures for MALDI Imaging Speed - Robustness - Definition Designed for MALDI Imaging Speed Up to 40 true pixels / second for faster and better images. Definition smartbeam 3D laser for better sensitivity, True Pixel MALDI Imaging and pixel-to-pixel reproducibility. Robustness Novel ion source design for increased robustness and maximized uptime. Ease of use With the new ease-of-use workflow, MALDI Imaging becomes a de-skilled routine application. Employing IntelliSlides® supporting automation features and fleXmatrix® for higher throughput. During the image acquisition the sample stage moves continually to achieve high pixel rates. The unique smartbeam 3D laser fires at a repetition rate of up to 10 kHz. The smartbeam 3D laser features a laser diameter of 5 µm, enabling MALDI Imaging of tissue at 20 µm spatial resolution. As illustrated in the video, the laser can move independently from the sample stage to scan the full area of each pixel. This produces truly square pixels which utilizes the total available sample area for maximum sensitivity and pixel-to-pixel reproducibility.
