OmegaTOF - Features
MegaDalton MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometer
Intact Protein Complex Characterization
When coupled with the CovalX crosslinking chemistries, the extended mass range of the OmegaToF gives direct access to the characterization of complexes formed between therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and their antigen targets or other protein protein interactions. This direct analysis of binding and stoichiometry provides a rapid and label-free method for identifying interactions.
Sample target solutions
Compatible with the FlexiMass series of microscope slide-format sample targets, these slides provide researchers with options depending on their experimental workflow. The individually barcoded, single-use FlexiMass-DS slides provide a convenient solution for more routine or defined workflows. Ready-to-use, these disposable targets eliminate the need for cleaning and the risk of carryover. Alternatively, the reusable stainless steel FlexiMass-SR sample targets provide a cost-effective, longer-term solution to sample preparation.

Quality as standard
Through the selection of components demonstrating improved longevity and performance, and by reducing the number of component parts, our engineers have created a reliable and robust platform capable of delivering outstanding performance in a small footprint. The MALDI systems are maintained by trained service support engineers who form part of the Shimadzu global distribution and support network. Routine maintenance is simplified thanks to the instrument design, providing our engineers with easy access to commonly serviced parts.
Data management and integrity
Operating under the control of MALDI Solutions™ software, the software features a centralized, secure Microsoft® SQL database which can be used to store everything from sample lists and acquisition Parameter Sets to acquired MALDI data. The system is managed by an Administrator and customizable user profiles provide control over access to the database and operation of the instrument.
