Compatibility
Compatibility With Various Mass Spectrometers:
AP MALDI ionization is designed to be compatible with Mass Spectrometers from major manufacturers. Its versatility allows seamless integration with different instruments. AP/MALDI can be coupled with high-resolution Mass Spectrometers, enabling accurate analyses, and demonstrating exceptional performance in producing accurate mass MALDI.
Contact us to determine model compatibilities.
Swift Transitions and Interfacing:
Due to its atmospheric pressure interface, AP MALDI enables swift transitions between different ionization methods. The switch from an ESI source to the AP/MALDI source can be accomplished in minutes, if not seconds, making it a practical solution for laboratories with intermittent MALDI requirements.
HR/UHR
What is HR? UHR?
The high resolution (HR) AP/MALDI source is equipped with an optical stage which can focus down to 50 micron laser dot size (resolution). Our ultra-high resolution (UHR) option has an optical package with a precision to allows for sub-10 micron resolution. For work that does not require sub-10 micron resolution, the HR package is an economical option that provides its user with every other improvement that the (ng) platform delivers. For imaging applications, we recommend upgrading to the UHR model.
Software
Target-Next AP/MALDI Imaging Software:
MassTech’s own Target-next is a control software for the MassTech AP/MALDI ion source, designed for high resolution mass spectrometry imaging experiments (MSI).
Target-next software user interface
Target-next supports ‘optical preview’ generation using the built in CCD camera in AP/MADLI, and the import of high-quality optical images of the sample surfaces. These features facilitate ‘imaging area selection’ (a.k.a. ‘regions-of-interest’ (ROIs)) for subsequent MSI experiments.
Our imaging software also provides hardware means for synchronization with the mass spectrometer including remote mass spectrometer start and chromatograph style operation, which allows users to analyze multiple samples in a single experiment.
All experiment data including selected imaging areas, XY stage travel logs, optical images, and laser status report are collected automatically and available for further analysis.
Companion applications allow the user to review stored results and combine them with the mass spectrometer raw data by creating a data file in the imzML format, as described in this publication by Römpp et.al.
