Hudson Surface Technology, Inc. (HST) works closely with Applied Surface Technology Asia, Inc. (ASTA) in the development, sale and production of cost-effective, high-performance tools for MALDI-TOF (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization - Time of Flight) Mass Spectrometry and for proteomics in general. HST and ASTA were created by experts in proteomics, MALDI-TOF MS, and low-cost surface treatment and fabrication with a view toward simplifying and improving tools for MALDI-TOF MS and proteomics. To this end, we have developed low-cost, single use (disposable/archivable) sample plates (targets) for MALDI, along with a range of related products to increase user productivity:

µFocus plates to boost productivity and sensitivity while lowering operational costs.These cost-effective, high performance plates give compact, reproducible sample/matrix deposits that improve s/n, while eliminating target cleaning and ghosting.
µArray plates for high-throughput (HTP) and imaging experiments.
Pre-spotted µFocus and µArray plates (Select, DHB, HCCA or "no matrix" when ordering µFocus or µArray plates) to save time in sample preparation.
ITO Glass slides to allow MALDI and optical imaging of the same sample.
Glyco-Affi MALD plates for easy, selective surface-binding and MALDI analysis.
Functionalized magnetic beads for easy, effective sample purification
MALDI imaging prep systems
Microwave digestion systems
HST accomplishes this, and keeps products cost-effective, via unique surface treatment technology that leverages standard photo-lithography techniques and low-cost manufacturing infrastructure for semiconductor fabrication.
