Device Description

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer with reflectron and LIFT capability, equipped with a pulsed UV laser with a wavelength of 355 nm. The device offers linear, reflectron, or ToF/ToF modes in positive and negative ion mode.

Device Application

Determination of molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, fragmentation pattern, and end groups of (bio-inspired) synthetic polymers up to a mass-to-charge ratio of 100,000-150,000 m/z.
