Description
SYNAPT G2-Si Imaging Mass Spectrometer
A mass spectrometer coupled to a powerful laser or DESI source. A laser or a solvent mix is directed to the surface of a plate which contains the sample. The sample is moved according to a pre-programmed raster and mass spectra are taken at each point. Post-processing of the continuous mass spectra allows the spatial resolution to be deconvoluted and an image of the differing masses extracted for each raster point.
- Results are resolved in spatial coordinates in addition to masses
- Can achieve very high mass for a MS system
- Easy sample preparation
- Rough surfaces can be analysed
Bruker AutoFlex MALDI-MS
This Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionisation – Mass Spectrometer (MALDI-MS) is suitable for a wide range of samples from intact proteins to polymers. Matrix selections is key to obtain good results. It is a destructive technique. As the mass spectrometer is coupled to a powerful laser, it is capable of measuring high mass ranges that are not possible with a traditional ESI/APCI source.
