The Thermo Scientific MALDI LTQ XL™ provides scientists with an MSn solution for analyzing whole tissue, biological and polymer samples without extensive sample preparation. A sensitive linear ion trap with MALDI capabilities provides faster sample preparation and complementary ionization to electrospray, allowing more reliable and definitive answers for protein identification and structural elucidation through MSn.
The sensitivity, efficient precursor isolation and the stable calibration of the LTQ XLare now available to MALDI samples. A robust source design with low sample consumption and the flexibility to use a variety of surface materials, including those that are non-conductive, complete this versatile system.

This tissue-imaging solution provides unparalleled sensitivity and unmatched MSn spectral quality of linear ion trap technology, as well as faster sample analysis, compared with the standard practice of homogenizing and extracting from tissue.
The MALDI LTQ XL offers:
- MSn with true collisional activation: CID, PQD, multistage activation
- Highest full scan MS Sensitivity
- High efficiency isolation
- Stable calibration (once every 3 months
- Robustness – no need to clean source (and break vacuum) regularly
- Tissue imaging capabilities
