Proteomics Analysis Mass Spectrometer — Waters Instruments Micromass MALDI TOF

The Waters Micromass MALDI TOF is a powerful mass spectrometry system typically found in advanced clinical, research, and microbiology laboratories. It is engineered for the rapid and accurate analysis of large biomolecules, making it a cornerstone for institutions focused on proteomics, biomarker discovery, and microbial identification.

This system utilizes Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight (MALDI-TOF) technology to provide detailed mass data for a variety of sample types. Key applications include:

• Microbiology: Rapid and reliable identification of bacteria, yeasts, and fungi for clinical diagnostics.
• Proteomics: Characterization of proteins and peptides, including molecular weight determination and peptide mass fingerprinting.
• Biomarker Research: High-throughput screening for potential diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers in complex biological samples.
• Polymer Analysis: Characterization of synthetic polymers.

This specific instrument was previously operational in a UK-based laboratory where it was maintained under a service contract, suggesting a history of professional care. It has since been professionally deinstalled and is reported as being complete and in working condition at the time of removal.

For laboratories looking to enhance their analytical capabilities, this Waters Micromass MALDI TOF system represents an opportunity to integrate a proven platform for high-mass analysis.
