The Bruker UltrafleXtreme is a high-performance MALDI-TOF/TOF (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight) mass spectrometer designed for advanced proteomics, polymer characterization, and small molecule analysis. It offers exceptional speed, sensitivity, and flexibility for a wide range of research and applied applications. The system is particularly well-suited for analyzing peptides and proteins, providing detailed mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry data. This system features a smartbeam-II laser, enabling high data acquisition speeds of 2 kHz in TOF mode and 1 kHz in TOF/TOF mode. It boasts a broadband mass resolving power of up to 40,000 FWHM (Full Width at Half Maximum) in reflectron mode, ensuring high mass resolution across a broad mass range. The FlashDetector combined with a 10-bit digitizer provides enhanced dynamic range and 1 ppm mass accuracy for high confidence in results. It can analyze samples up to 500 kDa in mass. Applications include top-down and bottom-up proteomics, polymer analysis, oligonucleotide analysis, biotyping, glycoprotein structure elucidation, and LC-MALDI proteomics. Its capabilities extend to tissue imaging, intact protein analysis, glycoproteomics, and quality control (QC) of biologics and oligos. The system's robust performance and versatility make it ideal for biomarker discovery, pharmaceutical research, and various clinical applications. Additional features include an IR-laser based self-cleaning ion source for robust, long-term operation and automated source cleaning for high uptime and low maintenance. The system is complemented by Bruker's Compass/Flex Control and Flex analysis software, along with Bio and Poly Tools and Protein Scape 3.0 for comprehensive data analysis and visualization. It can acquire full MS/MS data sets from low femtomole levels within seconds.
