MALDI-8030
Dual-Polarity Benchtop Linear MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometer
Affordable Class-leading Workhorse

MALDI-8030
The MALDI-8030 is the latest in a long line of MALDI-TOF products from Shimadzu. Instrument performance specifications is extended from those of the MALDI-8020 to cater for compounds best suited to analysis in negative ion mode. This dual-polarity, benchtop linear MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer delivers outstanding performance in a compact footprint, making it an ideal choice for today’s increasingly demanding laboratories.
Key features:
- Dual mode (positive/negative ion) MALDI-TOF
- 200 Hz solid-state laser, 355 nm
- Load-lock chamber for fast sample introduction
- UV laser-based source cleaning (patented)
- Flexibility
- Small footprint/benchtop design
- Quiet operation (<55 dB)
Best-in-class sensitivity and resolution
Dual mode instruments have traditionally been the instruments of choice in MALDI-TOF-based quality control (QC) and profiling workflows, and the MALDI-8030 is no exception. Peptides, proteins, polymers or oligonucleotides - the instrument is capable of delivering the performance required for QC applications. Research laboratories will also benefit from the MS capabilities of the instrument through the rapid mass-measurement of samples.

Features
-
Compatible with the FlexiMass series of microscope slide-format sample targets, these slides provide researchers with options depending on their experimental workflow.
-
To maintain instrument performance over time, the MALDI-8030 features wide-bore ion optics - a feature used on our existing MALDI-TOF products - which minimize the risk of source contamination over time, providing a robust platform.
-
As mass spectrometry moves into clinical laboratories, the MALDI-8030 is the perfect choice for researchers developing MALDI-based diagnostic methods. The system is designed and manufactured to ISO 13485:2016 quality management standards and is CE compliant.

Life Science Biomarker Industry Page has been updated
Biomarkers are derived from living organisms and found in tissues, blood, and other bodily fluids. Biomarkers are indicators of biological changes in an organism and are used to diagnose disease, in prognosis, and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pharmaceuticals. Biomarkers can be nucleic acids, proteins, peptides, lipids, and sugars, and are identified using various “omics” techniques.
