Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometers (MALDI-TOF MS) feature simple and rapid detection of low molecular to high molecular weight compounds in a wide range of samples. MALDI-TOF MS is widely used to determine molecular weights of synthesized products and natural substances in R&D laboratories and quality control sectors. In addition, utilizing the feature of MALDI-TOF MS which can detect multiple components in a wide mass range as singly-charged ions (1 component = 1 peak), an attempt is being made to use the instrument for profiling property changes of food and biological specimens.

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.
