Shimadzu’s MALDI-8020 is the newcomer in their family of MALDI products. This linear MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer combines talents and skills such as outstanding speed, accuracy and performance. It targets researchers developing MALDI-based diagnostic methods as well as labs where quality control methods or rapid screening of intact samples are routine.
Small Size. Massive Impact.
Small size: The instrument's small size is due to its benchtop design with compact footprint.
Massive impact: This is thanks to its performance that is similar to larger, more expensive devices.
Key Features
- Linear mode (positive ion) MALDI‒TOF
- 200 Hz solid‒state laser, 355 nm
- Load‒lock chamber for fast sample introduction
- UV laser‒based source cleaning (patented)
- Small footprint/benchtop design
- Quiet operation (<55 dB)
Application Areas
The MALDI-8020 is suitable for the analysis of proteins, peptides, polymers and others. The instrument is capable of delivering the performance required for QC applications. Research laboratories will also benefit from the MS capabilities of the instrument through the rapid mass‒measurement of samples.
