CovalX OmegaToF – Compact MALDI-TOF Solution
CovalX in collaboration with Shimadzu is proud to announce the latest innovative solution for High-Mass detection in a benchtop MALDI platform. The OMEGATOF, a compact footprint with high-end technology to achieve maximum High-Mass MALDI Analysis performance; making this mass spectrometer an ideal choice for the growing needs of detecting large molecules and intact protein complexes in analytical labs.
The OMEGATOF instrument provides outstanding sensitivity for high-molecular weight macromolecules. Large molecules and protein complex mixtures can now be analyzed with the highest sensitivity and lowest saturation levels.
CovalX technology is now fully supported from our collaborators at Shimadzu on the benchtop OmegaTOF mass spectrometer. This OMEGATOF, is the only benchtop MALDI instruments dedicated for large molecule and protein complex detection. Several unique applications have already been demonstrated directly on the OMEGATOF including:

OmegaTΩF Real Sample Situations
Intact Monoclonal Antibody Detection
Figure 1. Detected are clusters of IgG at 150, 300, 450 and 600 kDa which are formed during the MALDI ionization process. This demonstrates not only the sensitivity of the OMEGATΩF but the lack of saturation under abundant ion signals.
MegaDalton IgM Direct Detection
Figure 2. The sensitivity of OMEGATΩF for high-molecular weight macromolecules enable the detection of hexameric IgM monomers at 1.20 MDa.
