MassARRAY® Analyzer 4: Setting new standards in speed, performance, and flexibility With its exquisite sensitivity and accuracy, mass spectrometry is ideally suited for the analysis of nucleic acids. The new MassARRAY® Analyzer 4 system brings the power of mass spectrometry, robust molecular biology, and advanced data analysis software to meet the needs of high and low-throughput.
It provides increased throughput, faster time-to-results, and the ability to cost-efectively run from tens to thousands of samples – making this an ideal genetic analysis system for use in basic and translational research laboratories.
With the new MassARRAY Analyzer 4 system you can:
• Conduct rapid, accurate, and cost-efective analyses with a highly sensitive and specifc mass spectrometry-based detection system
• Run a variety of applications, from genotyping and somatic mutation analysis to methylation and comparative sequencing
• Save research time and maximize efciency with easy-to-use multiplexed assay design and optimization software
• Fit experiments into your schedule with fast experimental set-up and rapid data acquisition and analysis
• Save money with simple, robust, label-free primer extension Chemistries for detection on the MassARRAY Analyzer 4 system
High Performance
Maximum Flexibility
Highly accurate MALDI-TOF-based detection provides unparalleled specificity and sensitivity for studies of Genetic variation including somatic mutation detection in heterogeneous samples. The increased chip scan speed coupled with the robust detection system gets you to results faster with minimal system down time.
The MAssARRAY Analyzer 4 system has a small footprint, and is a highly scalable platform with the fexibility to analyze any combination of SNPs and samples for low to high-throughput applications, making it ideally suited for fne mapping studies, and candidate gene analysis downstream of whole genome association studies
Easy-to-Use
Versatility
Robust assay design software automates primer design and optimization to maximize efciency and minimize experimental variability. New data acquisition software streamlines your workfow to ensure fast, direct identifcation of genetic targets
The benchtop MassARRAY Analyzer 4 system is ideally suited for targeted genetic analyses across a variety of applications including SNP genotyping, somatic mutation detection, methylation analysis, quantitative gene expression analysis, copy number variation, and comparative sequence analysis.
