MassARRAY System

The MassARRAY System is a benchtop MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer that provides sensitive, accurate, and rapid analysis of nucleic acid samples. MassARRAY System is a complete genomic solution for molecular laboratories.

Main features

• Detection of specific PCR amplicons by mass spectrometry based on exact molecular mass
• Multiplex analysis of up to hundreds of mutations in a single workflow
• Highly accurate alternative to fluorescent-based methods
• Single day workflow with limited hands-on time
• 96- or 384-well format
• Chip prep module provides post-PCR automation to reduce risk of contamination
• Short amplicons enables compatibility even with fragemented or degraded samples
• Ideal for targeted genetic analysis including
  • SNP genotyping
  • copy number quantification
  • somatic mutation analysis
  • DNA methylation analysis

System consists of

• MassARRAY Analyzer 4 – MALDI-TOF system in RUO or CE-IVD configuration
• Chip prep module – automatically process up to two plates and SpectroCHIPs
• SpectroCHIP Arrays – contain pads for analyte-matrix co-crystalization
• Optimized reagents – simple PCR-based iPLEX, UltraSEEK or MassCLEAVE chemistries
• Application Software for interactive visualization of the data 

Applications
