Bruker ultrafleXtreme MALDI-ToF/ToF
Description
The Bruker Ultraflex MALDI Instrument is used for analyzing samples in the solid state that have been mixed with a laser-absorbing compound (the MALDI ‘matrix') and dried onto a stainless steel plate (the ’Target').
Following sample preparation, the MALDI MS analysis technique is rapid and simple to learn. It is especially suited to qualitative peptide analysis and shows excellent sensitivity for this purpose.
The instrument has imaging capabilities and can produce spatial distribution maps of chemicals in/on tissue slices. The BMSF has facilities for MALDI matrix deposition onto prepared tissue slices.
