Bruker Autoflex Speed MALDI-TOF(/TOF) for Greater Performance and Efficiency

Bruker announced the launch of new autoflex speed mass spectrometer at the recently concluded Pittcon 2014 in Chicago. This latest addition to the Flex^TM series incorporates innovative MALDI-TOF (/TOF) technology to improve productivity and performance in both conventional MALDI applications and high-throughput operations.

The new autoflex speed allows for various system configurations depending on different applications. These include linear only mode, high resolution reflectron and TOF/TOF modes for a wide range of techniques and experiments particularly in MS/MS. The highlight of this new system is its exclusive smartbeam^TM-II laser technology with 2 kHz repetition rate which enhances sensitivity and mass resolution thereby expanding its capabilities including LC-MALDI, MALDI Imaging and MALDI Biotyper microbiological molecular identification. The Ion Source self-cleaning and PAN^TM (panaromic) broadband mass focusing optimizes results with minimal instrument tuning.

The new autoflex speed therefore not only offers superior performance but also expands the range of prospective applications in MALDI-TOF and TOF/TOF, providing better solutions for researchers and scientists in diagnostics, industrial, clinical and applied analysis.
