Hamamatsu offers ionization-assisting substrates called DIUTHAME that support ionization in mass spectrometry in place of matrix that is currently used for MALDI (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization) and also eliminate the cumbersome sample pretreatment process.
DIUTHAME is …
… an ionization-assisting tool developed by Hamamatsu for MALDI TOF-MS (time-of-flight mass spectrometry). DIUTHAME streamlines the ionization process in mass spectrometry by replacing the matrix used in MALDI, and totally eliminates the cumbersome pretreatment of samples needed up till now.
