Mass spectrometer MALDImini-1

MSMS/MSfor research and development

Overview
MALDImini-1 is a MALDI digital ion trap mass spectrometer providing high-sensitivity MSn measurements in a highly miniaturized format. Its compact footprint—comparable to a sheet of paper—and simplified configuration allow installation in laboratories and on-site environments where conventional mass spectrometers cannot be accommodated.

Key statements

• Minimal footprint: Compact design and low installation requirements enable placement in constrained laboratory spaces or benchtop locations.
• Minimal time to result: Miniaturization supports rapid, on-site measurement with straightforward sample preparation and fast data acquisition.
• Minimal sample volume: Enables complex structural analyses with sub-microliter sample volumes.

Features (summary)

• MALDI Digital Ion Trap (DIT) technology combining MALDI ionization with a digital ion trap.
• MSn capability for multiple-stage mass spectrometry with maintained sensitivity despite small size.
• Optimized for microquantity samples and wide mass-range analysis.
• Simple sample prep and rapid acquisition workflows suitable for research and biopharmaceutical development.
