Used APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS / ABI / MDS SCIEX / KRATOS ANALYTICAL 4700 MALDI TOF #112765 for sale

APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS / ABI / MDS SCIEX / KRATOS ANALYTICAL 4700 MALDI TOF (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time of Flight) is a powerful and versatile laboratory instrument that is used to identify and characterize complex biomolecules. The system utilizes the principles of chemistry, physics, and biology to ionize, separate, and measure peptides and proteins. It has the ability to accurately and rapidly analyze biological samples without the need for extensive sample preparation and separation. The system requires one or more lasers generating ultraviolet, near ultraviolet, and infrared wavelengths in order to create a "molecular plume" of gaseous ions. When molecules pass through this plume they become ionized, and the time of flight of the ions is measured in order to differentiate them. By measuring the difference in mass between ions in the plume, the instrument is able to provide specific data regarding the structure, mass, and charge of the sample molecules. The Analytical ABI 4700 MALDI TOF has many advantages in protein analysis, including high sensitivity, high resolution, and a wide dynamic range. It is capable of detecting several different analytes simultaneously and is able to detect small molecules, such as peptides and proteins, in minute concentrations. Additionally, the system can provide accurate data regarding the post- translational modifications of proteins and is used for a variety of proteomic and drug discovery applications. The Analytical MDS SCIEX 4700 MALDI TOF is easy to set up and can be used for both rapid and detailed analysis of protein samples. Its automated design allows for optimized data handling and analysis capabilities, which provide accurate results in a short amount of time. Overall, KRATOS ANALYTICAL 4700 MALDI TOF is an excellent laboratory instrument which offers many advantages to protein researchers. Its versatility, high sensitivity and resolution, and automation capabilities bring together the principles of chemistry, physics, and biology to provide accurate data regarding biomolecules within complex samples. This makes it an invaluable tool for scientists to have in the laboratory.
