MALDI spectrometer MALDI-8020

TOF-MSMALDI-TOFlaboratory

Overview
The MALDI-8020 is a benchtop, linear MALDI-TOF (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight) mass spectrometer designed for demanding laboratories requiring rapid, reliable mass measurement. It supports workflows for peptides, proteins, polymers and oligonucleotides and is suitable for QC, profiling and research applications. For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Key features

• Linear mode (positive ion) MALDI-TOF
• 200 Hz solid-state laser, 355 nm
• Load-lock chamber for fast sample introduction
• UV laser-based source cleaning (patented) — TrueClean™ automated source cleaning
• Compact benchtop footprint
• Quiet operation (<55 dB)
• Wide-bore ion optics to minimize source contamination
• Compatible with FlexiMass™ microscope slide-format sample targets
• Operates under MALDI Solutions™ software with a centralized, secure Microsoft® SQL database (facilitates 21 CFR Part 11 workflows)
• Designed and manufactured to ISO 9001:2015 quality standards

Performance and examples
Example: a 4.2 kDa peptide demonstrating an average resolution of >5000 FWHM (resolution calculated by the software). The system provides the performance required for QC tasks and rapid mass measurement in research laboratories.
