Extremely versatile, this MALDI TOF-TOF mass spectrometer utilizes state-of-the-art high energy MS/MS, delivers unparalleled flexibility in an ergonomic, robust and reliable research-grade system, and provides the pinnacle of performance for high-energy MS/MS interrogation of proteomics, biological and organic samples.
Features:
Highest Energy Collisions
A CID with a laboratory frame collisional energy of 20keV delivers true high-energy MS/MS and, together with the newly redesigned curved field reflectron, produces well-balanced, information-rich MS/MS data. The novel additional LMZ scan allows focus of the analysis to be directed around the low mass region of the MS/MS spectrum.
Revolutionary Gating Technology
Allows optimal isolation of precursor ions with market-leading optimal precursor ion selection (>400 resolution FWHM), preventing the complication of overlapping fragmentation spectra from analytes with similar nominal masses. The resulting MS/MS spectra are easier to interpret and significant database search hits are more readily achieved.
High Sensitivity/Resolution
Near axis laser irradiation provides enhanced ion transmission and sensitivity in all modes of operation. The unique reflectron design improves resolution, and enhanced calibration algorithms with easy-to-use software provide more accurate data.
Outstanding Sensitivity with an uncompromised gridless design that ensures no MS/MS signal is lost.
High-resolution MS Data in Reflectron Mode
At >20,000 FWHM, the AXIMA Performance enables more accurate and confident peptide mass fingerprinting.
Uncompromised Linear Mass Range and Sensitivity
A highly optimized linear mode generates reproducible and sensitive results for very high mass compounds and complexes, extending the array of sample classes that may be analyzed.
Low Sample Consumption allows many more MS/MS experiments to be performed on the same sample spot.
Unparalleled Flexibility
Not just another proteomics workhorse, polymers, oligonucleotides, SNPs, metabolites, carbohydrates and small molecules, among others, may all be analyzed and processed. A variety of sample target formats, including standard microtiter plate format 96 or 384 well targets, can be used.
Like all AXIMA MALDI-TOF systems, the AXIMA Performance can be fully integrated with robotic sample preparation devices, including the AccuSpot MALDI plate spotter and CHIP chemical printer, to create application-specific platforms. Integration with the CHIP creates a powerful platform for tissue imaging, while using an AXIMA instrument with a Prominence GPC system and AccuSpot results in a fully automated platform for polymer analysis that delivers quick, detailed analysis of ultra-trace substances.
