MALDI ToF/ToF MS/MS
LaserToF TT is a Research Grade MALDI-MS/ MS instrument, incorporating some of the most advanced performance and design features of any mass spectrometer.
The TT is the result of an accumulated knowledge base. It offers rapid and accurate single scan seamless MS/MS analysis. The design combines high resolution peptide mass fingerprinting and peptide sequencing by uni or bi molecular fragmentation. The instrument is equipped with a 2D sample stage (including 96/384/1536-well format) for high throughput automated analysis.
