Bruker Corporation products

Featuring the smartbeam-II laser as integral part of MALDI instruments; At the heart of the autoflex® maX is our proprietary smartbeam-II solid state laser. With up to 2 kHz speed in MS mode and 200 Hz for MS/MS, time sensitive analysis – such as would be needed for biopharmaceutical integrity screening – can be made in minutes. The ionization efficiency of the smartbeam-II laser minimizes sample consumption and maximizes quality data output from each target position, even for complex samples. The ionization is gentle enough that tissue samples may be stained after analysis in MALDI MS Imaging workflows. Amenable to a variety of MALDI matrices, the smartbeam-II laser offers a long lifetime for a wide range of applications.

Bruker`s patented innovative smartbeam-II laser enables high data acquisition speed in both MS and MS/MS at full systems performance. The well-established proprietary smartbeam-II laser provides unprecedented analytical and matrix flexibility in workflows from protein tissue imaging, intact proteins analysis, glycoproteomics, biologics or oligo QC, polymer analysis, to LC-MALDI proteomics and TLC-MALDI – all fully enabled at 1-2000 Hz repetition rates.

MALDI-TOF/TOF adds unique capabilities to protein characterization. With speed in mind, we designed the heart of the rapifleX® MALDI Imaging solution to work up to 20 times faster than traditional MALDI-TOF systems, to meet the increasing requirements of tissue imaging or high-throughput primary screening.
