MALDI-TOF spectrometer AXIMA Confidence™

MALDIMS/MSTOF-MS

Product type
Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer

Overview

• Powerful MALDI-TOF performance for reliable mass information and MS/MS-derived structural detail.
• Linear mode allows interrogation of high molecular weight samples; reflectron mode with the patented curved-field reflectron (CFR) provides high resolution and mass accuracy for proteomics and life science experiments.
• High-sensitivity system using a variable repetition-rate 50 Hz N2 laser and multiple target formats to match sample throughput.
• MS/MS capability with a standard precursor ion selection device for efficient isolation and acquisition of data-rich fragment spectra; improved CFR enhances low-mass fragment detection.

Key performance features

• Near-axis laser irradiation with a 50 Hz variable repetition-rate N2 laser
• Patented curved-field reflectron (CFR) for improved resolution and mass accuracy
• Support for various manual and automated target formats

Key benefits

• Designed for proteomics experiments
• LC-MALDI compatibility for hyphenated workflows
• Flexible sample throughput options (manual or automated)
