«ALMASS Bio» reagent kit, in «ALMASS Bio Matrix» configuration contains the following components: «ALMASS Bio Solvent» reagent, «ALMASS Bio Matrix» reagent.
- «ALMASS Bio Matrix» reagent (α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid, CHCA) is used as a matrix for «ALMASS Bio Standart» reagent and analyzed samples, providing reduction of laser radiation destructive effect during analysis.
- «ALMASS Bio Solvent» reagent is a solvent for «ALMASS Bio Standart» and «ALMASS Bio Matrix» reagents.
The method principle is based on the treatment of analyzed microorganism samples with a material (matrix) reducing destructive properties of laser radiation and obtaining mass spectra of their protein profiles.
«ALMASS Bio» reagent kit, «ALMASS Bio Matrix» configuration is available in a set sufficient for at least 9000 identifications (at least 9000 µl of the working solution of the «ALMASS Bio Matrix» reagent), without adding «ALMASS Bio Standart» reagent:
Part 1:
- «ALMASS Bio Solvent» – 1,2 ml x 9 vials;
- «ALMASS Bio Matrix» – 15 mg x 9 tubes.
Note – the number of identifications is specified for mass calibration when working with the «ALMASS Bio» system for mass-spectrometric analysis according to TU 26.60.12-008-57564538-2022 produced by Algimed Techno LLC; the number of identifications may differ when working with MALDI-TOFMS mass-spectrometers of other manufacturers.
