The Ultraflex is a MALDI (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization) tandem mass spectrometer specially designed for automated MS and MS/MS analysis. Tandem Mass Spectrometry is a technique that utilizes more than one mass selective stage in a mass spectrometer. The most common form in practice is a two stage arrangement to record MS/MS spectra. The incorporated LIFT device allows acquiring full fragment ion spectra within one single scan and replaces traditional measurements of segmented spectra with stepwise-reduced reflector potentials.
