MALDI-MSI

Our innovative approach integrates MSI, enzymology, and materials analysis to address critical gaps in tire development processes. At its core, our analytical platform utilizes advanced MSI technology, specifically Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI). This cutting-edge approach enables:

1. Precise molecular-level insights into tire compositions

2. Simultaneous multiplex imaging of thousands of molecules

3. Comprehensive analysis of metabolites, amino acids, sugars, lipids, peptides, proteins, and polymers

While MALDI-MSI has found success in pharmaceutical applications, AKIN Solutions is pioneering its use in the tire industry. Current analytical methods in tire manufacturing fall short of providing the molecular-level insights required for next-generation tire development. Using our molecular imaging technology we aim to fill this crucial gap, offering analytical capabilities for each selected application.
