MALDImini-1
MALDI Digital Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer
Entering the Digital Age of Mass Spectrometry
Utilizing its unique experience developing Digital Ion Traps, Shimadzu has introduced the smallest MALDI-based instrument available: the MALDImini-1. The size of a piece of paper and the recipient of a Red Dot Design Award, the MALDImini-1 enables users to perform advanced mass spectrometry experiments, including comprehensive structural analysis, in spaces never before possible.
Features
-
With its simple configuration, it is possible to install the compact MALDImini-1 in small places where mass spectrometers previously could not fit. Its unique Digital Ion Trap (DIT) technology, along with the innovative design of the laser optics, sample stage, and vacuum exhaust system, drastically reduces the space needed for the device.
-
Users can place the MALDImini-1 on a workbench and check MS results right next to the sample preparation area, allowing for a more convenient workflow. Sample and matrix are simply spotted on the sample plate, dried, and loaded into the instrument. Analysis can begin in as little as five minutes. This fast, simple setup enables users to conduct and repeat even in-depth structural analyses in a short time span.
-
In addition to measuring micro-quantity samples with the MALDI-MS, it can be used for complex structural analysis.

Benchtop MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometer Featuring Integrated MegaDalton Ion Detection
Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, in collaboration with CovalX Instruments Inc., introduces the OmegaTOF benchtop high mass matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometer. The OmegaTOF system couples Shimadzu’s benchtop MALDI-TOF instrument platform (MALDI-8020) with established technology for high mass detection from CovalX. The result is a user-friendly, compact platform that extends benchtop MALDI-TOF analysis to a mass range of 1.5 MegaDalton.

New Benchtop MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometer Features Dual-Polarity Ion Source
Shimadzu Scientific Instruments introduces the MALDI-8030 benchtop linear matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometer. Like its predecessor, innovative instrument design enables the MALDI-8030 to achieve performance specifications similar to those of larger, more expensive MALDI-TOF models in a significantly smaller footprint. This user-friendly compact instrument expands on the successful benchtop format of the MALDI-8020 by offering both positive-ion and negative-ion analysis.
