We recently evaluated MALDI_TOFs from several companies (Micromass, Bruker,
PE, Amersham Pharmacia)for oligonucleotide and polymer analysis. We settled
on PE Voyager-DE PRO. Easy to use, good data, helpful technical people (at
least while they were trying to make the sale). Bruker was a very close
second in our opinion. The best thing you can do is to get them to bring you
to their facility and test YOUR compounds. Good luck!

Subject: Recommendations on MALDI instruments
Hi,
We are interested in purchasing a new MALDI-TOF instrument and would
appreciate any recommendations/input on the different models available.
We plan to use the instrument for analysis of proteins, peptides, peptide
digests, and oligosaccharides. Our primary considerations are instrument
reliability, ease of use of the software, service quality and applications
and technical support offered by the vendor.
Thanks
