maXis has already been proven as anexceptional tool in quantitative proteomics, peptide and intact proteinanalysis, but also for rapid small molecule identification using the uniqueSmartFormula 3D method for on-the-fly unambiguous molecular formula read-out,co-developed with Pfizer, UK. "We are delighted that Professor Gross, who has an outstanding record in thedevelopment of mass spectrometry for new applications, has chosen BrukerDaltonics as a partner in developing applications in top-down proteomics,"commented Dr. "We view our ESI-FTMS with high field magnets as the ultimateplatform for top-down proteomics and are pleased to collaborate with ProfessorGross in this field. The maXis as a high-throughput, high-performance researchtool for applications in proteomics and small molecule research, and thecollaboration on the development of front-end ETD, make this a very exciting andimportant research collaboration for Bruker." Professor Gross observed further: "The maXis will have many applications in ourlaboratory. The ultra-high resolution of this instrument will allow us to doexperiments we have developed in our lab such as PLIMSTEX, SIMSTEX, and otherprotein mapping strategies at high speed with isotopic resolution of proteins upto 40 kDa. We are very excited about applying the maXis to this work, but wealso see that the maXis will be a superb instrument for the more routine workdone in our facility, such as confirmation of small synthetic moleculesimportant in chemistry and metabolomics by using accurate mass MS and MS/MS.

Weare pleased about bringing new tools such as SmartFormula 3D to our facility andmaking them available to our collaborators and clients."
