PHOTONIS USA has announced a new High Mass BiPolar Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time of Flight (MALDI-TOF) detector which improves the detection efficiency of very high mass ions with less complexity when compared to other high-mass MALDI-TOF detection solutions.

It will be on display at the PHOTONIS booth (#76) at the upcoming American Society of Mass Spectrometry Conference in Vancouver, BC, Canada from May 20-25.

The new PHOTONIS high mass MALDI-TOF detector features a large 250mm2 collection area which allows for higher sensitivities without the need for higher post-acceleration voltage. The detector is comprised of a high-sensitivity microchannel plate, a high-speed scintillator, and a photomultiplier which can detect both positive and negative ions with 30 kV isolation. This innovative solution also features a gridless optic system that provides high sensitivity detection for masses in excess of 100 kDa. The compact shape and simplified detection system supports many high mass operating modes without the need to manipulate the detector through the ion beam.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.

MALDI-TOF MSMALDI-TOF mass spectrometers (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight) are used for the mass analysis of large molecules, including proteins, DNA, polymers and other macromolecules due to its relatively soft ionization, reducing fragmentation whilst allowing fast data acquisition. Tandem mass analyzers such as TOF/TOF systems can be used to increase resolution and sensitivity of your analysis.
