Bruker Autoflex Speed MALDI TOF/TOF Mass Spectrometer
The instrument is mostly used for the determination of molecular weights of proteins, individual peptides, peptide mixtures, oligonucleotides, for the characterization of polymers and organometallics.
- Linear mass range at least up to 300 kDa.
- High mass resolution 10,000 –22,000 over a wide mass range in reflectron mode.
- LIFT technology for acquiring MS/MS spectra.
- Biotools software for protein/peptide identification
