Bruker Corporation

The Bruker Microflex LT/SH is a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometer. Ion generation is achieved using a nitrogen laser operating at a wavelength of 337 nanometers, a variable laser repetition rate of 1 to 60 hertz, a laser power of 80 microjoules per pulse, and a mass range of up to mass-to-charge ratio (m/z)=500,000. The instrument can be operated in either positive or negative ion mode. A wide range of analyte types, such as polymers, oligonucleotides, peptides, and proteins, can be measured.

Access Guideline

First time booking instrument time on UC Berkeley equipment through Second Lab?

Access to UC Berkeley facilities for use of equipment requires prior approval from UC Berkeley. This process is simple, fast, and approvals are issued to eligible external users in 1-3 business days. You can begin the process by simply clicking the "Request Access" button in this listing and e-signing the agreement and uploading your COI (minimum coverage limits and additional insured requirements are found in Section 5 - Insurance of the Agreement). Please contact support@secondlab.com with any questions.

Lab rules

All external, non-UCB customers are required to comply with all UC visitor policies and lab rules.
