At the 17th International Mass Spectrometry Conference IMSC, Bruker Daltonics announced its next- generation horizontal top-of-the-line Ultraflex III Smartbeam Maldi-Tof/Tof mass spectrometer
The new Ultraflex III combines various innovative features and further pushes the Tof/Tof performance envelope for applications like LC-Maldi and Maldi molecular imaging, where highest sensitivity and speed are required.
An even further improved smartbeam laser with computer-controlled settings of the laser focus size from 10um to 80um makes the new Ultraflex III an ideal choice for Maldi molecular imaging.
Absorbing tissue areas can now be scanned with a very small laser focus and adjustable repetition rates from 1Hz to 200Hz, providing maximum sensitivity.
The Ultraflex III boosts sensitivity even further and increases acquisition speed by a factor of three for LC-Maldi workflows, in comparison to the previous Ultraflex II system.
The all-purpose Warp-LC workflow software supports intelligent, result-dependent LC-Maldi acquisition, protein sequence validation, PTM screening and accurate quantitative proteomics for all label chemistries, to ensure outstanding top-of-the-line Ultraflex III performance.
"Its further sensitivity and speed performance enhancements make the ultraflex III the cutting-edge system in virtually all Maldi-tof/tof applications.
"Our unique smartbeam technology, in combination with the new variable focus size, makes the Ultraflex III most versatile not only for Maldi imaging but for a broad range of large molecule analyses" stated Bruker Daltonics vice president Ian Sanders.
"Our extensive, fully- integrated Maldi-tof product portfolio, including our brand-new Autoflex III Smartbeam and Ultraflex III Smartbeam instruments, further establishes Bruker Daltonics's leadership position in expression proteomics and clinical proteomics".
