Used WATERS / MICROMASS MALDI #9119355 for sale

WATERS / MICROMASS MALDI (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Mass Spectrometry) is a mass spectrometer system used to characterize and study the properties of a variety of macromolecules. It utilizes a high laser pulse energy to desorb molecules from the sample, and then ionize them in the process of mass analysis. The process is simple and fast, and with minimal sample preparation, a variety of large and complex molecules can be analyzed. WATERS MALDI can even be used for analyzing biological molecules, including large proteins and peptides, and even intact cells (in the case of MICROMASS MALDI imaging). The basic components of a MALDI system include an ion source, an ionizing laser, a mass analyzer, and a detector. The ion source is where the analysis occurs; it shoots an ionizing laser beam at the sample material to ionize the molecules. The laser produces an energy pulse, which desorbs and ionizes molecules so they can be subjected to mass analysis. The ions are then separated according to their mass-to-charge ratio in the mass analyzer. The detector measures the amount of ions present during the analysis and records the data electronically. WATERS / MICROMASS MALDI is highly configurable, allowing for a wide range of experiments to be performed. The ion source can be set for a variety of conditions to give the highest signal-to-noise ratio for a given experiment. The ionizing laser has output energy that can be adjusted and optimized for the sample material. The mass analyzer can be set to different scan speeds and types of scans, allowing for comprehensive data to be collected. Lastly, the detector can be set for a variety of sensitivities, being able to record a large number of ions for complex proteins and peptides. WATERS MALDI is a powerful and versatile spectrometer that has become a key tool in the study of proteins, peptides, and large biological molecules. With its high laser pulse energy, wide range of experiments, and configurability, it is an excellent system for a variety of applications.
