Used SEQUENOM MassARRAY #188527 for sale

SEQUENOM MassARRAY is a spectrometer designed to provide quantitative, multiplexed and high-resolution analysis of DNA and proteins. It utilizes a proprietary form of mass spectrometry called MassARRAY, which is a high-precision, sensitivie, and rapid method for detecting and quantifying the mass of small molecules. The equipment incorporates reverse-phase liquid chromatography and time-of-flight technology to identify and quantitate the mass of a molecule. SEQUENOM MassARRAY features two main hardware components: the Mass Array Analyzer 4 (MAA4) and MassARRAY iPLEX Gold reagent kit. The MAA4 is a state-of-the-art detection system which consists of an analysis station, a fiber-coupled nitrogen laser source, and a custom-manufactured charged optics. The fiber-coupled nitrogen laser produces light pulses of a suitable wavelength and energy for the detection of small molecules by SEQUENOM MassARRAY platform. The custom-manufactured charged optics unit is designed to concentrate the light beams and direct them to MassARRAY chip, where they transfer energy to the molecules that they encounter. SEQUENOM MassARRAY iPLEX Gold reagent kit is a customized reagent which performs several key functions within MassARRAY machine. It provides the necessary reagents and enzymes to perform the PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) amplification and MALDI-TOF (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight) detection stages of SEQUENOM MassARRAY workflow. The kit is composed of dNTPs (deoxynucleotides triphosphates), a mixture of ProximTech MALDI-TOF optimized chemistries and enzymes, and a gold-titanium neutralized matrix. The PCR reagents included in the kit are optimally formulated for efficient amplification of up to 384 target molecules using MassARRAY platform. SEQUENOM MassARRAY spectrometer has many applications in the life sciences, including genotyping, gene expression analysis, and protein quantification. The tool can accurately detect small differences in mass between two molecules, and can quickly provide a quantified result for many different types of DNA and protein targets. In addition, MassARRAY iPLEX Gold reagent kit ensures that the PCR and MALDI-TOF detection stages of the workflow proceed as efficiently as possible.
