Fast Small Molecules Analysis with Nanostructured Laser Desorption Ionization

Analyzing Small Molecules with a laser-based TOF is now easily feasible with new NALDI-TOF technology.

NALDI-TOF is Fast

Nano-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization omits time consuming ESI sample injection to the mass spectrometer. Thus it is the ideal approach for easy high-throughput analysis of loads of samples.

NALDI is Matrix-Free

Disposable ready to use NALDI™ targets are nanostructured target plates for matrix free laser desorption ionization of low mass organic molecules. The nanostructures absorb the laser energy causing laser desorption of the samples placed on the target. As a result, mass spectra of small molecules are obtained at high sensitivity and with very low chemical background. The NALDI targets are available in standard ¼ MTP format for use in Bruker FLEX series instruments.

NALDI is Quantitative

Patented NALDI technology opens the door to routine analysis of small molecules such as pharmaceutical compounds by MALDI-TOF and TOF/TOF instrumentation, reaping the benefit of speed and sensitivity offered by these analytical systems. Now, a fast, quantitative and accurate mass spectral analysis of drug candidates after biological assays is possible and laborious sample processing is obsolete.
