microflex® LRF
The most powerful benchtop MALDI-TOF MS today – 15k resolution – easy to use but ideal for many analytical challenges
Best-in-class performance
Wide application range
microflex® LRF
The most powerful benchtop system
Technology in detail
The microflex® LRF can be operated in positive and negative ion mode using the linear or reflector detector.
The saturation free detector technology enables highest dynamic range and superior performance for high-mass detection.
Ion generation is achieved using a 60 Hz N2-Cartridge-Laser including variable power attenuator and UV optics.
The microScout ion source uses the exact dimensions of 1/4 microtiter plate with a medium area target plate (54 mm x 36 mm), allowing to stay compatible with MTP formats using pipetting robots.
The pumping system is fully integrated into the system and comprises a vacuum measurement and control unit as well as a 70 l/sec turbo-molecular pump and a diaphragm pump.
A benchtop MALDI-TOF instrument for fast and flexible analysis
The microflex® LRF is an easy to use bench-top instruments which provides answers for your analysis tasks in no time. Proven MALDI technology operating either in positive or negative ionization mode enabling flexible access to different analyte types such as polymers, oligonucleotides, peptides and proteins.
The rapid access to molecular weight information helps to increase lab efficiency, e.g. by checking if your desired compound is present in your experiment.
Power to handle a wide range of analytical challenges
Food Adulteration
The world-wide financial impact by food adulteration is huge. With a fast but yet very affordable MALDI analysis e.g. olive oil and soy bean oil mixtures can be rapidly classified to determine adulterations. A new method to determine levels of cow milk in feta cheese has been described recently.
Polymers
Determine absolute molecular weight distributions of synthetic polymers up to 500 kDa and analyse data with PolyTools.
Quality Control
Using the microflex® LRF results are obtained rapidly, ensuring your quality or synthesis control in a timely manner. A wide range of samples can be analyzed ranging e.g. from lubricants to oligonucleotides.
Routine MS
Molecular weight determination in a general-purpose mass spectrometry facility: fast results from the best benchtop MALDI system.
