Powerful benchtop MALDI-TOF MS with advanced imaging capabilities

The MALDI-8020 EasyCare system delivers high-end user features while saving laboratory space

The MALDI-8020 EasyCare dual-polarity linear MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer delivers speed and accuracy within a compact design. You can increase throughput and save time with its 200 Hz solid-state laser. The system’s design includes a rapid-moving sample stage and load lock chamber for fast sample introduction and data acquisition.

The MALDI-8020 EasyCare is uniquely suited for a variety of applications, from peptides, proteins to polymer characterization. The system is fully contained within its compact design, and with the addition of the MALDI-TOF Imaging Starter Kit, MS imaging on a benchtop system is now possible.

A compact, benchtop footprint designed to save laboratory space

  • The MALDI-8020 EC saves benchtop space without sacrificing performance

    The system spans a width of only 450 mm and easily fits into tight spaces on a laboratory bench. It is also light for easy transport, weighing only 92 kg. While this system is small, it still has high sensitivity and resolving power for a linear TOF analyzer.

Best-in-Class sensitivity and resolution for accurate sample analysis

  • Best-in-Class sensitivity and resolution for accurate sample analysis

  • WideBore ion optic technology increases both system sensitivity and resolution

    The patented WideBore optics utilizes near normal (on-axis) incidence of the MALDI laser beam and a wide orifice to produce outstanding ion beam transmission efficiency and performance. This design also reduces contamination of the ion optics from desorbed samples. This is particularly beneficial during high-throughput MS imaging experiments.

Routine maintenance in your hands

  • Manually clean the ion optics and autotune the instrument.

    MALDI-8020 EC units enable users to maintain their systems by performing instrument maintenance through manually cleaning the instrument optics. Optics can be easily accessed by opening the instrument side panel and then removed for cleaning. The MALDI solutions software that comes with the EasyCare units allows end users to perform instrument tuning with two options: detector only, or a full tuning workflow, which involves the manual optics cleaning, as well as deflector and detector tuning. This offers the opportunity to improve instrument performance without the need for a service visit.

  • MALDI Mass Spectrometry Imaging for the Masses: An Introduction to MALDI MSI

    • MALDI Benchtop Instruments

    Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) began its development in 1997 with the publication of “Molecular Imaging of Biological Samples: Localization of Peptides and Proteins Using MALDI-TOF MS” by Richard Caprioli et al. in Analytical Chemistry. Over the past 25 years, there have been numerous developments in terms of samples preparation, matrix application, and instrumentation that have enabled increases in figures of merit related to MSI. Each improvement is accompanied by an increase in method complexity and price tag, while many users are seeking an entry-level instrument to perform simpler experiments that still produce spatially resolved mass data. To this end, we have tested a benchtop Shimadzu MALDI-8020 capable of MALDI MSI and employed simpler sample preparation techniques. As an introduction to MSI, we share the optimization of relevant parameters and matrices as well as the results of relevant imaging experiments.
