Instrumentation:

Bruker timsTOF fleX with MALDI-2

Instrument for probing molecular content of sample with MALDI-2. The timsTOF fleX is fully functional high speed, high sensitivity ESI instrument for all X-Omics analyses, combined with high spatial resolution Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization (MALDI) source and stage specifically designed for resolving molecular distributions and bringing spatial dimension to OMICS analyses.MALDI-2 uses laser post-ionization to enhance and enrich the MALDI experiment providing access to chemical classes typically opaque to MALDI with enhanced sensitivities.
