July 26, 2012 (Peabody, Mass.) – A new Applications Notebook from JEOL features over 20 application notes describing the analysis of synthetic polymers, small organic molecules, complex drug mixtures, peptides, and proteins using the JEOL SpiralTOFTM MALDI TOF-TOF mass spectrometer. The SpiralTOF time-of-flight optics design utilizes a figure-eight ion trajectory to allow a 17m flight path to fit in an extremely small console. This exceptionally long flight path results in an ultrahigh resolving power of >60,000 and sub-ppm mass accuracy. The optional TOF-TOF mode makes it the only MALDI TOF-TOF system capable of acquiring high-energy CID product-ion mass spectra for monoisotopically selected precursor ions.
The JEOL SpiralTOF Applications Notebook can be downloaded from the JEOL USA website or is available as a printed book upon request.
