Autoflex speed™ MALDI TOF/TOF
Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization(MALDI) stands as one of the most powerful
techniques invented for investigating:
1. Biopolymers (such as peptides, proteins, glycansand oligonucleotides)
2. Synthetic polymers and organic molecules (>500 Da), especially in mixtures and crude samples
3. MALDI Imaging. Distribution of proteins,lipid, smallmolecules and etc. in tissue sections.
Results are shown as color coded intensity plots and can be overlaid to an image of the
investigated sample
5. TLC MALDI. Measurements directly from a thin layerchromatography (TLC)
6. Microorganism and Fungi identification and classification
7. Detailed sample characterization by MS/MS.
8.Top down proteomics.
