The MALDI-8030 is a dual-polarity, benchtop linear MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer that delivers outstanding performance in a compact footprint, making it an ideal choice for today’s increasingly demanding laboratories.
The dual-polarity ion source of the MALDI-8030 allows the flexibility to analyze a wide range of samples including proteins, peptides, oligonucleotides, lipids, glycans, polymers and small molecules. Its enhanced sample throughput, ease-of-use, low maintenance and small footprint make it ideal for all laboratories. Moreover, its quiet operation at <55 dB expands use beyond the conventional laboratory setting.
Key features include:
- Dual mode (positive/negative ion) MALDI-TOF
- 200 Hz solid-state laser, 355 nm, for class-leading two billion shots per lifetime
- Load-lock chamber for fast sample introduction
- UV laser-based source cleaning (patented) – enables seamless self-cleaning of the ion optics, without breaking vacuum and requiring the removal of the ion optics
- Patented WideBore™ ion optics technology – significantly reduces contamination from the desorbed MALDI sample
- Quiet operation (<55 dB)
In addition, the integrated barcode reader, when used with FlexiMass™-DS slides, is compatible with AuraSolution™ and SampleStation™ automated analysis software and can provide seamless tracking to reduce misidentification errors.
Tailored MALDI Solutions acquisition software features data security for regulatory compliance facilitated with password-controlled user login, encrypted data and user traceability.
