MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometers

The AXIMA-CFR™ plus is the latest addition to the AXIMA range of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometers. A modified ion gate that enables deflection of low mass matrix ions, a reflectron detector, and an ultra-fast (2GHz) transient recorder are unit features. It has a resolution specification of more than 20,000, doubling that of the original model. The modified ion gate for "beam blanking" can also be used for broad mass range selection. Fully automated seamless PSD™ can be achieved in less than a minute and in a single acquisition, minimizing the use of precious samples and avoiding the stitching together of spectra necessary in other reflectron systems. Software controlled CID fragmentation allows for low mass PSD fragmentation.
