Mass Spectrometer Accelerates Proteomics Research

The AB SCIEX TOF/TOF 5800 System, built through a collaboration between Applied Biosystems and MDS Analytical Technologies, is designed to aid researchers in the advancement of biomarker discovery, MALDI imaging and protein identification, and represents a significant advancement in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight technology. MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry works by ionizing complex biological samples and identifying the individual protein components by their molecular weight. This system enables researchers to identify up to 30% more proteins at a rate that is 10 times faster than any other MALDI system on the market, helping scientists to achieve in less than a day what takes more than two weeks on other MALDI-based systems. This system, combined with the release of ProteinPilot 3.0 processing software application, is part of a complete workflow that accelerates proteomics research.
