SpatialOMx® Driven
ESI/MALDI零妥协
匹配的双源设计PASEF®具有无标签的空间定位的授权LC-MS/MS识别以解码样品的分子组成
Timstof Flex建立在shot弹枪蛋白质组学标准上smartbeam3D激光光学用于快速测量的一个平台。双源仪器的理想选择®, timsTOF fleX conducts robust ESI measurements and spatially resolves a wide range of molecules directly from tissue using one platform. No single instrument has before provided access to both essential capabilities for the most advanced OMICS researchers.
During operation, software activation of the smartbeam 3D laser is the only change in the source region to change from ESI to MALDI in seconds. No complicated changeover means making zero compromises in productivity and the ability to move effortlessly from world class OMICS identification and quantification workflows to creating high definition molecular maps of tissue sections to see what matters most.
True pixel imaging is key to get molecular insights into histological regions or even into single cells. The smartbeam 3D laser technology implemented in the timsTOF fleX enables fast acquisitions and retains true pixel shapes.
Irregularities in thickness of tissue sections do not influence mass accuracy in the QTOF configuration of the timsTOF fleX since the mass analyzer is decoupled from the ion source and leads to high-definition MALDI images.
Zoom mode to see what really matters
Besides the ability to generate high definition “True Pixel” MALDI images, the smartbeam 3D laser provides rock solid laser guided targeting down to 10 µm with Bruker’s new zoom mode technology. Users now have the flexibility to adjust their laser spot size and spacing to accommodate a wider range of granularity depending on biological features of interest.
由于Maldi和ESI生产的离子从源从探测器传播到探测器的相同路径,因此MALDI工作流可以利用Timstof Pro中发现的最先进的特征,包括基于碰撞横截面(CCS)的离子移动性分离(TIMS)(TIMS)(CCS))检测到的分子。可以在ESI模式下进行调整和校准,并用于MALDI实验,以额外优化。
TIMS allows for the separation of molecules dependent on the shape of the ions. Ions are entering the dual TIMS device together with a gas stream and are accumulated in the first section by an electrical field. The actual separation takes place in the second part of the TIMS cartridge. Ions are eluted in a temporal and spatial fashion by lowering the electrical potential. Variable ramp speed and mobility range adaptation gives rise to optimizations for different classes of molecules allowing high flexibility for the user.
It has never been so easy to combine the regiospecificity of MALDI Imaging with in-depth X-Omics analyses. Applicable for examining a wide range of analytes, including metabolites, lipids or glycans, and seamlessly compatible with microscopy workflows, MALDI Imaging can identify regionally specific compound distributions for SpatialOMx®分析。Cutting-edge instrumentation with a dual-source design paired with proofed high purity consumables for robust analyses and user-friendly software saves time and makes your research life easier. Use Bruker’sIntelliSlidesfor automated MALDI Imaging and SpatialOMx®workflows on the timsTOF fleX.
对复杂样品(例如组织切片)的分析受益于被困的离子迁移率光谱法(TIMS)。单独的同型或异构体代谢物,脂质,肽或聚糖,以获取分析物的真实空间定位。TimStof Flex提供了唯一的机会,可以在高质量分辨率失败的情况下区分异构分布。
Use the collisional cross section (CCS) as an outcome of TIMS to validate the identity of your analyte with an additional quality criterion. CCS-aware software intelligently matches spatial MALDI-TIMS Imaging data with X-Omics results and enables vital morphological context to ID-lists.
The timsTOF fleX is a versatile instrument for probing the molecular content of your sample. Built on Bruker’s pioneering timsTOF Pro platform, the timsTOF fleX is a fully functional high speed, high sensitivity ESI instrument for all your X-Omics analyses, combined with a high spatial resolution MALDI source and stage specifically designed for resolving molecular distributions and bringing a spatial dimension to OMICS analyses. Transform proteomics analysis into spatial proteomics,脂质组学进入空间脂质组学,并代谢组s into spatial metabolomics and get tissue context to your data. Interact with other disciplines and get more out of your analytical data to be successful.

A tumor is more than meets the eye
The microenvironment of cancers contains a combination of healthy cells, tumor cells, connective tissue, blood vessels, and inflammation in different ratios at different time points. Each of these components will have their own unique molecular signature of compounds. Researchers who study disease states rely heavily on interpreting tissue pathology and creating these maps within the context of biomolecules bridges the gap between traditional OMICS and understanding disease.
Cancer cells and other disease states have significant genetic and epigenetic modifications that influence the genomic expression cascade. Whether you are looking at the proteome, lipidome or metabolome, the spatial distribution of compounds contains valuable information for interpretation. Understanding complex samples require unmatched analytical depth provided by the ion mobility option of the timsTOF fleX in addition to mass and charge. Isobaric interferences can be distinguished, and isomers separated. This helps for example to localize isobaric lipids in tissues. In-situ MS/MS as well as PASEF®empowered 4D X-Omics provides you with the ability to identify your analytes of interest.
使用Bruker的行业领先软件,现在可以直接从组织中注释目标分子。只需将数据加载到SCILS™实验室中,定义感兴趣的区域,然后将峰值列表导出到代谢区域®. Annotate your peaks using databases or compound lists from LC-MS/MS analyses, then review and export your annotations back to SCiLS™ for visualization. From SCiLS™ you can then visualize results with pathways and familiar nomenclature rather than mass labels to reduce the time from data to results.
“The timsTOF fleX is an innovative instrument that synergizes multiple analytical capabilities to allow development of novel omics workflows. For imaging MS, it may be potentially transformative, especially for tissue metabolomics and glycomic applications.”
