The timsTOF fleX is a high performance UHR-OTOF system with integrated dual ESI/MALDI source, exhibiting high speed and robust MALDI Imaging. The additional trapped ion mobility feature adds another separation dimension to unravel complex data and make annotations in MALDI Images more reliable through CCS-matching. Since ASMS 2020 we switched to the next level to gain higher sensitivity for a broad range of compounds and equipped the instrument with a second laser allowing for postionization (MALDI-2).

MALDI-2 uses laser based postionization to enhance and enrich the MALDI experiment, providing access to chemical classes typically opaque to MALDI, at unprecedented sensitivity (2-3 orders of magnitude compared to traditional MALDI) Postionization significantly boosts ion yields for many different analytes and reduces the ever-challenging ion suppression effects in MALDI Imaging.

The peer-reviewed and in-peer-reviewing communications listed below is a non-exhaustive list from the work initiated on the first timsTOF fleX (MALDI-2) instruments in the field in the years 2019-2024 and many more are to come.
