A linear mode enables outstanding levels of analysis of high-molecular weight samples while the reflectron mode, incorporating the patented, newly improved curved-field reflectron, provides high resolution and mass accuracy.
Features:
High Sensitivity/Resolution
A variable repetition rate 50 Hz N2 laser and advanced ion optics for enhanced ion transmission enable users to meet all sample throughput requirements. Pulsed extraction of ions from the MALDI source, in combination with the unique reflectron design, improves resolution, and enhanced calibration algorithms with easy-to-use software provide more accurate data.
Easily Perform MS/MS
A seamless approach isolates ions of interest, and data-rich fragment ion spectra are quickly and simply acquired. The curved field reflectron design augments the low mass fragment region to provide additional information.
Positive and Negative Ion Modes Included as Standard
Allows greater flexibility and extends the compound categories that may be analyzed.
Patented Beam Blanker
Removes unwanted low mass ions and prevents detector saturation.
Unparalleled Flexibility
A variety of sample target formats, including standard microtiter plate format 96 or 384 well targets, can be used. In addition, Fleximass™ microscope slides (plain or 48 well targets) and a wide variety of adaptors for unconventional sample layouts are available.
Like all AXIMA MALDI-TOF systems, the AXIMA Confidence 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.

The easy-to-use AXIMA-iDPlus Microbial Identification System is the ideal tool to address these concerns. With AXIMA-iDPlus, cultured microorganisms can be directly applied to the MALDI sample target and introduced to an AXIMA series MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer to revolutionize the daily routine in analytical and diagnostic laboratories.
Fast Response, Outstanding Recovery Rate
AXIMA-iDPlus can identify 380 clinical research samples within 5 hours in the high-throughput mode, less than one minute per sample. The results appear in a comprehensible spreadsheet format, exportable to common data processing software.
Gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, yeast, fungi and spores are identified based on their characteristic MALDI-TOF MS fingerprints with up to 98% recovery rate down to sub-species level.
Substitutes Biochemical Standard Methods
No pre-selection of analytical methods is required; hands-on time is reduced and costs are cut dramatically.
Wide Range of Applications
AXIMA-iDPlus covers a wide range of applications in a number of industries, including diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, healthcare and food. Examples include:
- Diagnosis of human and veterinarian infectious pathogens
- Drug discovery process
- Culture collections
- Food and beverage manufacturing processes
