Reliable and Efficient Protein Analysis MALDI based mass spectrometers have been used for many years as a standard in protein and peptide analysis, particularly for proteomics research. MALDI-TOF spectrum of intact carbonic anhy drase (CA) in sinapinic acid matrix determines the molecular weight. autoflex speed TOF/TOF systems provide information-rich protein sequencing known as Top Down Sequencing (EdmassTM, TDS) whereby the N- and C-terminal amino acids from proteins or peptides are analyzed directly. This capability can be extremely useful when analyzing known proteins such as biotherapeutics....

Molecular Tissue Imaging One of the most exciting recent developments in MALDI-TOF is the technology to generate images of individual molecules in tissue sections. This has the potential to revolutionize the discovery of protein targets associated with disease or treatment prognosis. MALDI imaging can also be used to monitor the distributions of lipids, drugs or their metabolites throughout the tissue without the need for labeling. With its kHz speed and 20-50 µm image resolution, the autoflex speed series was specifically optimized to deliver outstanding results in truly High Definition MALDI...

Glycoprotein and Glycan Analyses High molecular weight proteins Turning analysis of the complex into routine Analysis of polymers and large proteins has always been challenging for mass spectrometry. The need for analysis of these molecules has even increased with the development of Biotherapeutics that often contain glycans or are PEGylated. To address these challenges, the autoflex speed has been developed with a number of enhancements that generate convincing results. Glycopeptide analysis in one hit N-linked glycopeptide from the heavy chain of a monoclonal antibody (right). The MALDI-TOF/TOF...
