At the heart of the autoflex^® maX is our proprietary smartbeam-II solid state laser. With up to 2 kHz speed in MS mode and 200 Hz for MS/MS, time sensitive analysis �?such as would be needed for biopharmaceutical integrity screening �?can be made in minutes. The ionization efficiency of the smartbeam-II laser minimizes sample consumption and maximizes quality data output from each target position, even for complex samples. The ionization is gentle enough that tissue samples may be stained after analysis in MALDI MS Imaging workflows. Amenable to a variety of MALDI matrices, the smartbeam-II laser offers a long lifetime for a wide range of applications.

Driven by intuitive softwares, enabling seamless solutions
A key component of the value and walk-up approachability of the autoflex^® maX is the Compass software suite, including flexControl for data acquisition and flexAnalysis data analysis. Whether user driven or automated, these softwares support the generation of high quality data quickly and easily. Further, they work in combination with application specific software packages including BioPharma Compass^® for biopharmaceuticals, PolyTools for polymers, and SCiLS Lab for MALDI Imaging.

Maintenance made easy
An analytical platform with this range of utility can become a workhorse in the lab, but ion source maintenance is made easy with the push button, IR-laser based self-cleaning of the Perpetual Ion Source. In less than 15 minutes, the autoflex^® maX will be ready to resume its workload. Remote service capabilities with Bruker engineers support rapid troubleshooting as well as software and firmware updates on the spot.
