Shimadzu Scientific Instruments has updated its line of AXIMA MALDI-TOF mass spectrometers (MS) with three new systems to meet the needs of researchers with varying applications and budgets. The AXIMA Performance mass spectrometer provides the pinnacle of performance for high-energy MS/MS interrogation of proteomics, biological and organic samples. These include peptides, polymers, oligonucleotides, SNPs, metabolites and carbohydrates. It also demonstrates outstanding performance in the analysis of high-mass species, such as intact proteins. In reflectron mode high-resolution MS data is generated for peptide mass fingerprinting and complex mixture analysis. Full automation, advanced calibration algorithms, data-dependent workflows and application-centric software help users achieve maximum results with minimal user input. Software packages include proteomics, polymer and copolymer analysis, LC-MALDI, biomarker discovery and tissue imaging.
