Affinity MALDI plates

AffiPro ambient reactive landing technology allows immobilizing proteins on dry conductive and semiconductive surfaces (including metal oxides and conductive polymers) even if they are nonreactive under conditions of standard wet chemistry. The protein arrays prepared by this technique are fully compatible with MALDI ionization because the substrates are conductive and durable enough to be used directly as MALDI plates. Compared to other materials, the nonreactive surfaces do not contaminate MALDI ion sources and show minimal nonspecific interactions with other chemical species present in the investigated sample. The sample prep is performed directly on the MALDI plate, a concept often described as “lab-on-a-plate” workflow.
