AP/MALDI Ion Source

MassTech's AP/MALDI ion source brings MALDI capabilities to your ESI mass spectrometer. AP/MALDI is available for the following:

AP/IRIS
RF Quad Generator
Control Unit for AP/MALDI PDF+
AP/MALDI for Varian
AP/MALDI for AB/MDS SCIEX
AP/MALDI for Agilent Technologies
AP/MALDI for Waters/Micromass
AP/MALDI for Thermo Finnigan
AP/MALDI for Shimadzu
AP/MALDI for JEOL
AP/MALDI for Bruker

Fast analyses - AP/MALDI operates at atmospheric pressure; no pump down time is needed. Sample plates can be loaded in seconds.
High sensitivity - Low-femtomole to attomole sample amounts spotted on the sample plate can be detected.
Searchable MS/MS spectra - AP/MALDI generates MS and MS/MS data quickly and easily. Allows database searching for protein identification. AP/MALDI MS/MS data is much easier to acquire than MALDI-TOFs post-source decay data.
Complementary data - The MALDI capability, on a typically ESI instrument, allows analysis of singly charged ions and when combined with an ion trap allows MSⁿ. Generation of MALDI data complements multiply-charged data from ESI.
Rapidly interchangeable - The design of the AP/MALDI source is similar to that of the ESI source so changing sources is simple. Switching to AP/MALDI only takes minutes.
Excellent reliability - With new pulsed dynamic focusing (PDF) technology which has been added to AP/MALDI systems, laser misalignments are eliminated and a robust stable operation is achieved. All AP/MALDI systems are delivered pre-configured/aligned, and go through rigorous quality testing.
Great Value - The most inexpensive way to get MALDI capability in the lab. Adding AP/MALDI to an existing instrument is far less expensive than purchasing a new Q-TOF or TOF-TOF instrument. And AP/MALDI provides searchable MS and MS/MS spectra that answer many of the same questions.
