The AXIMA Performance is one of the most powerful tools in mass spectrometry, delivering information-rich spectra with greater sensitivity and higher confidence in identification. It is an extremely versatile and powerful TOF-TOF system, integrating workflows for a diverse range of analytical needs.
From high energy MS/MS of proteomics and other biological and organic samples to uncompromised analysis of high mass intact proteins
True high energy MS/MS - CID with a laboratory frame collision energy of 20keV
Optimal precursor ion selection resolution using revolutionary gating technology
Outstanding sensitivity - uncompromised design, to ensure no MS/MS signal is discarded
Features
Can be used in various research fields
A diverse range of applications are supported, including fully automated proteomics experiments, LC MALDI analyses, functional genomics, quality control and polymer interrogation.
Proteomics suite
Designed with the flexibility to adapt to users' workflow: from single sample manual acquisition to fully automated data-dependent peptide mass fingerprinting and MS/MS for protein identification.
Peptide mass fingerprints are acquired and subjected to an optional integrated Mascot® database search.
User defined acceptance limits for PMF-based protein identification.
Data-dependent MS/MS: using the results of the PMF search, MS/MS may be performed on ions that matched to the top ranked protein hit (confirmation MS/MS), in addition to those that were not (investigation MS/MS). Batch searching of these MS/MS spectra is then performed automatically to provide further and higher confidence protein identification.
