TiO 2 – functional microparticles for highly-specific phosphopeptide enrichment

MassTech, Inc. is proud to announce the newest member to the AP-MALDI family – the AP-MALDI (ng) UHR (Ultra High Resolution).

The NL100 Nitrogen Laser is ideal for fluorescence measurements, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometers, and other pulsed UV radiation experiments. It provides 3.5 ns pulses at 337 nm (UV), with repetition rates up to 20 Hz. The pulse energy is 170 µJ, which results in a peak power of 45 kW and an average power of 3 mW. The NL100 can be triggered internally or externally at rates up to 20 Hz. It can also provide a sync output pulse (opt…

The Turbo V source is considered the gold standard in mass spec ionization. The patented orthogonal design delivers outstanding ionization efficiency and robustness across many applications, covering flow ranges of 5 uL/min to 3 mL/min. This renowned ion source acts as the foundation on which SCIEX mass spec systems are built and serves as the inspiration for many of the ion sources that followed.  

The IonDrive™ Turbo V source increases the capacity of the legendary Turbo V source, maintaining the simple orthogonal design but with higher capacity heaters and a wider sweet spot for enhanced sensitivity.

The robustness and simplicity you’ve come to expect from a traditional analytical flow can now be experienced in your high-sensitivity microflow and nanoflow analyses. We have made this possible with standard size finger-tight fittings, and a new single-click source interface – allowing you to effortlessly connect your LC, column, and mass spec. The OptiFlow source is equipped with intelligent probe recognition technology t…

The ion source operates by electron ionization (EI) or chemical ionization (CI). The sample enters the ion source from the GC/MSD interface. Electrons emitted by a filament enter the ionization chamber, guided by a magnetic field. The high-energy electrons interact with the sample molecules, ionizing and fragmenting them. The positive voltage on the repeller pushes the positive ions into the lens stack, where they pass throug…

The Finnigan vMALDI Ion Source system provides fast, automated MS and Data Dependent MS/MS analysis of digested protein mixtures in a single, rapid experiment. While LC/MS analysis times are typically 30 to 60 minutes, using the Finnigan LTQ with the vMALDI ion source generally requires less than a minute per sample enabling high throughput protein identification. Production: The Finnigan vMALDI Ion Source Thermo's new F…
