Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization source (MALDI)

Model: 
Autoflex Speed
Purchase year: 
2012
Features: 

Applications in the field of synthetic polymers require equally good performance in both, small to medium mass range as well as high mass analysis. The Autoflex Speed series is well prepared for either of these tasks. This mass spectrometer is equipped with:

• Smartbeam™-II, a 2 kilohertz laser and system electronics for intensive or high throughput applications.

• Novel FlashDetector™ technology increases resolution and sensitivity and prevents signal saturation for complex samples.

• Minimized maintenance with IR laserbased self-cleaning Ion Source.

• FlashDetector technology, the instrument provides outstanding resolution (R>26,000) and mass accuracy (≤ 2 ppm) in reflectron mode to address the complexity of complex co-polymer samples. Due to its real on-axis detector design, operating the system in linear mode allows the detection of extremely large molecules such as polymers >500 kDa (top)

Optimized software package for polymer analysis workflows:
• FlexControl for quick and easy data acquisition.
• FlexAnalysis for automatic and interactive data analysis.
• PolyTools™, interactive interpretation of MALDI polymer spectra.
• Polymerix (Sierra Analytics, Modesto, CA, USA) for treatment and interpretation of polymer spectra.
