Smartbeam 3D laser enabling MALDI Imaging at highest speed and fidelity
Speed
Up to 40 true pixels / second for faster and better images.
Definition
smartbeam 3D laser for better sensitivity, True Pixel MALDI Imaging and pixel-to-pixel reproducibility.
Robustness
Novel ion source design for increased robustness and maximized uptime.
Ease of use
With the new ease-of-use workflow, MALDI Imaging becomes a de-skilled routine application. Employing IntelliSlides® supporting automation features and fleXmatrix® for higher throughput.
Important Features to Consider
Laser and ion source designed for MALDI tissue typing
During the image acquisition the sample stage moves continually to achieve high pixel rates. The unique smartbeam 3D laser fires at a repetition rate of up to 10 kHz.
The smartbeam 3D laser features a laser diameter of 5 µm, enabling MALDI Imaging of tissue at 20 µm spatial resolution. As illustrated in the video, the laser can move independently from the sample stage to scan the full area of each pixel. This produces truly square pixels which utilizes the total available sample area for maximum sensitivity and pixel-to-pixel reproducibility.

Applications
Tissue typing – A clinical discovery workflow
The speed of the rapifleX® Tissuetyper® allows for fast acquisition of images and SCiLS™ Lab solution seamlessly allows for classification of the data sets, enabling tissue typing at minimal time. Tissue micro arrays can be analyzed very rapidly. The soft smartbeam 3D laser effectively ionizes the analytes but does not harm the tissue, in fact histological staining is possible after the acquisition of the MALDI data set.
The combination of the mass spectrometric, molecular information with the histology of the analyzed tissue yields information-rich data sets, resulting in deeper understanding of the spatial distribution of molecules linked to the observed biology. The image displays a typical workflow, and also shows some statistical features of the SCiLS™ Lab solution
