The AB SCIEX TOF/TOF™ 5800 System provides the fastest and most confident path to the identification and relative quantitation of proteins. The systems unmatched speed and sensitivity make it the ideal platform for biomarker discovery, MALDI mass spectrometry imaging, and protein identification.

 

 

 

Product Description

  • More than 10X faster data acquisition with new 1KHz laser and DynamicExit™ algorithm
  • Unique OPtiBeam™ on-axis laser irradiation increases sensitivity in both MS and MS/MS modes by 10x over systems without an on-axis laser
  • Maximum up-time and throughput by continuously heating of the source mirror and user programmable source mirror cleaning
  • Improved resolution with new reflectron mirror design and 1000 MHz digitizer
  • High-resolution precursor ion selection with novel timed-ion selector

 

More than 10X faster acquisition - The new 1 kHz laser provides lightning-fast ionization, and the innovative DynamicExit algorithm provides highest-confidence IDs with the fewest number of laser shots. Now, LC MALDI TOF/TOF system analysis speed rivals that of ESI/MS/MS.



Easier to Use - The new EasyAccess™ Wizard provides a single-page interface that quickly guides the user through setting up acquisition parameters. Simple to use but powerful, ProteinPilot™ Software 3.0 is complemented by application-specific software to ensure that getting meaningful results is fast and easy.

Longer continuous run times - A user-programmable routine cleans the MALDI source to eliminate contamination due to matrix deposits, and the heated source mirror is continually cleaned. There's no more need to break your experimental sequence to keep the instrument running optimally.

 

Ideal system for iTRAQ® reagents - The 5800 System is designed to provide the highest sensitivity and most reproducible results from isobaric tagging workflows, such as iTRAQ® Reagents 8-plex. No modifications or add-ons are required to achieve optimal results.

 

See information that you've been missing - Electrospray mass spectrometers only give you part of the picture. MALDI TOF/TOF data is a perfect compliment to ESI data for more comprehensive, in-depth identification and relative quantitation of proteins in complex samples.

 

Get the greatest depth of coverage with the LC MALDI workflow - The LC MALDI workflow separates the time constraints of LC from the mass analysis. With your chromatographic run "stored" on a MALDI plate, you can spend as much time as required to get the maximum information from a given region or time point.
