Summary: MALDI-TOF offers researchers a new level of precision in the laboratory. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry has become the gold standard in DNA and RNA polymer production. DNA synthesis and RNA synthesis are delicate processes and the introduction of MALDI-TOF over thirty years ago has helped the industry exponentially. Commercially manufactured DNA synthesizers that are capable of producing high sequence oligonucleotides allow a wide variety of processes to be completed, including purification, gene …
