What is MALDI-TOF MS primarily used for?

MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry is primarily used for the rapid identification of microorganisms, as well as the characterisation of biomolecules like proteins and peptides, and polymers.

What kind of samples can be analysed?

This type of instrument can analyse a wide range of samples, including bacterial colonies, fungal cultures, purified proteins, peptides, and various synthetic polymers.

Is specialised training required to operate this equipment?

Yes, operation typically requires specialised training due to the complexity of sample preparation, data acquisition, and spectral interpretation.

What are the typical maintenance requirements?

Routine maintenance commonly includes cleaning the ion source, replacing vacuum pump oil, and periodic calibration. Laser source lifespan and replacement should also be considered.

What is the typical resolution of a Microflex MALDI-TOF?

While exact specifications vary by model, Microflex units typically offer sufficient resolution for microbial identification and general biomolecule analysis, providing distinct mass spectra for differentiation.
