The JMS-S3000 SpiralTOF™-plus 3.0 is a MALDI-TOFMS* that uses innovative SpiralTOF ion optics that has been updated to extend the mass range of this high resolution system. The JMS-S3000 defines a new standard in MALDI-TOFMS performance and provides state-of-the-art analytical solutions for a wide range of research areas such as functional synthetic polymers, materials science, and biomolecules. ＊Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer Setting the new standard in MALDI-TOFMS performance To improve the mass resolving power and mass accuracy of a time-of-flight mass spectrometer, the flight distance must be extended while keeping a group of ions having the same m/z (an ion packet) from diverging in space. The innovative SpiralTOF ion optics was developed by JEOL based on the "Perfect focusing" and "Multi-turn" principles. The ion packets are focused back in space at every fixed distance (i.e., each figure-eight trajectory) during the flight. Thus, even after the extended flight distance, the ion packets do not diverge at the detection plane, achieving high mass resolving power, high mass accuracy, and high ion transmission. Reduced topographic effect of matrix crystal The topographic effect of the matrix crystal leads to a difference in flight start position for the ions, resulting in a difference in flight time. In the conventional ion optical system, this time difference degrades the mass resolving power and also the mass accuracy obtained with external mass calibration. With its extended flight distance, the JMS-S3000 reduces this effect to the minimum and achieves highly reproducible mass resolving power
