MALDI-TOF Supplies for AB Sciex

Description

A line of Hudson Surface Technology cost-effective, high-performance tools for MALDI-TOF (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization - Time of Flight) Mass Spectrometry and proteomics. Get better results, in less time, at less cost and greater convenience with HST products.

μFocus technology is at the heart of HST's product line for MALDI-TOF MS. Unique, proprietary technology produces thin, disposable, single-use stainless steel targets with hydrophilic islands (μFocus spots) on a hydrophobic surface. The results is precise, concentrated, deposition of sample in precise, well-formed spots.

μFocus targets give you a precisely formed dried droplet spot of predetermined size. You can work with larger (1700-2000 μm) spots and use standard spotting techniques. You can also work with much smaller spots (700-900 μm) that allow you to reduce the amount of matrix used, to maintain optimum matrix to analyte ratio with less concentrated or smaller analyte samples. Many users report 5-10x increases in sensitivity. Because μFocus spots are uniform, you also see improvements in spot-to-spot reproducibility, making quantitative analysis and fingerprint assays more reliable.

Features

µFocus® MALDI Targets
Patterned hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces focus sample deposits to predefined spots with predefined sizes.Controlled size deposits reduce matrix demand, increasing analyte/matrix ratios.

Functional Surfaces
Advance separation technology for your experimental needs. Focus on your core expertise, not separations and preparation. Fast, economical access to affinity technology.

Non-focus plates are either stainless steel blanks (non-hydrophobic) or are fully hydrophobic (no μFocus spots). HST makes these available for your convenience; most often, they are utilized in LC-MALDI work.
