Description
The compact linear MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer MALDI-8020 is a recent development by Shimadzu, designed for high-performance biomolecular analysis in laboratory settings. The benchtop design combines precision, reliability, and efficiency, providing accurate and reproducible results.
TrueClean™ technology. The patented laser cleaning system for the ionization source ensures fast (<10 min) UV-based in-situ cleaning of ion optics elements without breaking the vacuum. Its wide-aperture ion optics minimize contamination risk and maintain consistent analytical performance.
FlexiMass™ targets. The device is compatible with FlexiMass™ targets. Disposable 48-position polymer FlexiMass™-DS targets with individual barcodes eliminate cross-contamination, while reusable steel FlexiMass™-SR targets offer a cost-effective long-term solution for routine analysis.
Barcode scanner. The built-in patented barcode reader automatically scans samples upon loading. An LED indicator on the front panel confirms successful barcode recognition, streamlining workflow and improving traceability.
