Digital Ion Trap Mass Spectrometers

Description

The MALDImini-1 is the first commercially available compact MALDI digital ion trap mass spectrometer. It fits in a space the size of a piece of paper, while enabling fast, high-sensitivity measurements and detailed structural and qualitative analyses over a wide mass range.​ This system allows users to perform advanced mass spectrometry experiments, including comprehensive structural analysis, in spaces where mass spectrometers previously could not fit. By combining a MALDI ion source with Digital Ion Trap (DIT) technology, it enables high-sensitivity MS and MSn analysis even with sub-μL sample volumes. It also allows users to easily perform comprehensive structural analyses, such as direct structural analysis of biopharmaceuticals, oligonucleotides, post translational modified proteins, and branched glycans.
