SunCollect - A most versatile MALDI spotter and tissue preparation device

Magnify picture Additional information Product web page Product brochure

When Micro HPLC or Nano HPLC is employed to separate samples, the components of the sample are isolated as fractions in the same way as when analytical scale HPLC is used. In many laboratories, the fractions are deposited into microtiter plate wells (MTP) or are spotted onto MALDI-MS targets for further investigation. The SunCollect MALDI-Spotter is extremely successful in collecting fractions using either approach. If desired, a single fraction can be saved in both formats at the same time. When this approach is used, most of the fraction can be collected in the microtiter plate well and a small volume can be spotted on the MALDI target. Even if the volume of the fraction is large, the entire fraction can be collected and no eluate (= compounds) is lost. The software is designed to be extremely simple to use. It is very easy to enter new sample collection protocols or create new target design. The SunCollect MALDI-Spotter is biocompatible, since the sample and collected fractions are in contact only with PEEK and quartz. System solution Outstanding Features of the SunCollect MALDI-Spotter The SunCollect MALDI-Spotter provides the following features: High precision Simultaneous collection of a sample on a microtiter plate well and a MALDI target Extremely rapid; the probe moves from one spot to another in less than 1 second It is a compact unit that requires a small amount of space The spots can be dried very rapidly (option) The unit is completely biocompatible (quartz capillary probe) Very small, precise spots are possible (260 µm OD probe as option for 10 nl spots) Perfect mixing of the eluate with the matrix MALDI imaging and continuous collecting of eluates in lines instead of discrete spots Controllable dosing pump (optional) Designed to be easy to use. The control software makes it simple to develop and edit new targets and collection protocols. In addition, the unit is easy to service It is very reasonably priced, compared to other present systems Yes, I would like the vendor to send me additional information about this product.
