Why the source matters

MALDI ionization needs UV pulses with stable energy, short duration, controlled repetition rate, and repeatable beam quality.

The correct source is defined at the sample or process—not at the laser aperture. Wavelength and operating mode set the interaction; stability, delivery, timing, and control determine whether it stays useful in the complete system.

Application workflow

Design from the result backward.

Three decisions turn the application into a practical source specification.

01

Define the matrix and spot

Establish matrix absorption, sample geometry, beam size, and fluence range.

02

Control every pulse

Set energy, pulse width, stability, repetition rate, attenuation, and pulse-on-demand behavior.

03

Fit the TOF instrument

Confirm triggering, jitter, footprint, beam routing, environment, and expected lifetime.

Selection guide

Match the architecture to the experiment.

These are starting architectures. Precisometer qualifies the final wavelength, output, delivery, control, and integration package against your setup.

A

Core MALDI source

A 355 nm Q-switched platform in the nanosecond class matches the established architecture.

B

Variable-throughput system

Choose a controllable repetition range and attenuation strategy across assay modes.

C

OEM design-in

Lock mechanical, electrical, timing, and lifetime requirements before qualification.

Ready to specify

Bring us the application—not a guessed model number.

Ask for matrix, pulse energy, repetition rate, pulse width, beam size, trigger format, and instrument integration.
