MALDI-TOF spectrometer MALDI-8030

massprocesscompact

The MALDI-8030 is the latest in a long line of MALDI-TOF products from Shimadzu. Instrument performance specifications is extended from those of the MALDI-8020 to cater for compounds best suited to analysis in negative ion mode. This dual-polarity, benchtop linear MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer delivers outstanding performance in a compact footprint, making it an ideal choice for today’s increasingly demanding laboratories. Key features: - Dual mode (positive/negative ion) MALDI-TOF - 200 Hz solid-state laser, 355 nm - Load-lock chamber for fast sample introduction - UV laser-based source cleaning (patented) - Flexibility - Small footprint/benchtop design - Quiet operation (<55 dB) Best-in-class sensitivity and resolution Dual mode instruments have traditionally been the instruments of choice in MALDI-TOF-based quality control (QC) and profiling workflows, and the MALDI-8030 is no exception. Peptides, proteins, polymers or oligonucleotides - the instrument is capable of delivering the performance required for QC applications. Research laboratories will also benefit from the MS capabilities of the instrument through the rapid mass-measurement of samples. Compatible with the FlexiMass series of microscope slide-format sample targets, these slides provide researchers with options depending on their experimental workflow. To maintain instrument performance over time, the MALDI-8030 features wide-bore ion optics - a feature used on our existing MALDI-TOF products - which minimize the risk of source contamination over time, providing a robust platform.
