MALDI-TOF and TOF/TOF Mass Spectrometry
Flagship FLEX series is the global leader for MALDI applications
Bruker's FLEX series is the absolute market leading MALDI platform. With its fully trusted innovative
design, the FLEX series sets the precedent for outstanding MALDI performance, reliability, and
convenience. Covering a broad range of applications from additive analysis to surface imaging, the
benchmark FLEX series MALDI systems are the standard for polymer analysis. These MALDI systems
include a wide range of capabilities enabling beginners and experts to achieve maximum efficiency.
Highly automated workflows enable data acquisition and in-depth analysis from the smallest amounts
of samples within seconds. Intuitive and powerful software packages support data visualization and
turn-key target characterization.
microflex series
From small molecules to polymers, the bench-top smartflex® and microflex® LRF are the perfect choice. The robust design guarantees reliable daily operation for chemical synthesis checks, lubricant quality control, additives analysis, and food adulteration analysis. Ideal for non-expert users and busy multi-instrument labs where ease-of-use, intuitive operations, and reliability are critical. While microflex LRF provides expanded capabilities for smaller molecules due to the reflector mode, the smartflex with patented smartbeam laser provides extended lifetime for high-throughput applications.
