AB MDS Sciex 4800 MALDI-TOF-TOF Mass Analyzer

The ACRF BRF maintains an AB MDS Sciex 4800 MALDI-TOF-TOF Mass Analyzer. In the TOF mode, this instrument is used for the characterisation of large molecules, especially polymers and biopolymers such as proteins and nucleic acids, some classes of lipid and carbohydrate.  These molecules may be subjected to collision-induced-dissociation in the TOF-TOF mode enabling classical applications such as peptide and protein identification subsequent to tryptic digestion.
