Maldi source

Manufactured by Bruker
Sourced in Germany

The MALDI source is a critical component of Bruker's mass spectrometry instruments. It is used to ionize and desorb analytes from a sample for subsequent mass analysis. The MALDI source employs a laser to generate ions from the sample, which are then detected and analyzed by the mass spectrometer.

Sample and matrix application followed the procedure outlined for above (MALDI TOF MS). The MALDI FT-ICR experiments were done using a solariX-XR 12 T FT-ICR mass spectrometer equipped with a dual electrospray ionization (ESI) and MALDI source (Bruker Daltonics, Bremen, Germany). The data set size was 1 MW (~0.5 s transient length), the detection was in magnitude mode with ramped excitation, and the m/z range was 200–3000. The MALDI source had the following parameters: the laser was set to 1 kHz at a laser power of ~30% (instrument specific setting), smartwalk with selective accumulation was enabled, and 500 laser shots per acquisition and 15 scans were summed. All data were acquired and processed with Data-Anaylsis 4.2 (Bruker Daltonics).

MALDI Imaging of Metabolites in Tissue

Before MALDI analysis, matrix coating (either 12 or 14 passes) was applied to the desiccated tissue sections by using an HTX M5 sprayer (HTX Technologies) with 10 mg mL−1N-(1-Naphthyl) ethylenediamine dihydrochloride (NEDC; Sigma), dissolved in 70:30 methanol:water. The spraying parameters were set as follows: 80 °C nozzle temperature, 0.1 mL min−1 flow rate, 1000 mm min−1 velocity, 2 mm track spacing, 10 psi pressure, 3 L min−1 gas flow rate, and 10 s drying time for each pass.
MALDI samples were analyzed by using a timsTOF fleX with a MALDI source (Bruker Daltonics). All MALDI images were collected in negative polarity in MS1 mode at 50 μm pixel size. The laser was set as a single focused beam with a laser power of 85%, a laser frequency of 10 kHz, and 200 shots per pixel. The mass range was 50-400 m/z. Mass calibrations were performed by using 1 mM sodium formate solution. AMP, stearate, and palmitate were analyzed from sections with 12 layers of matrix coating, while NAA was analyzed in sections with 14 layers applied.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
