Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization matrices used

In contrast to the other ion sources, the MALDI source may operate under high vacuum or under atmospheric pressure. In the latter case the acronym AP-MALDI (atmospheric pressure matrix assisted laser desorption ionization) is used. [Pg.51]

The fifth category of ionization includes the laser ionization mass spectrometry (LIMS) methods. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) uses... [Pg.713]

Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption-Ionization Matrix-assisted laser desorption-ioni/.ation (MAI.DI) speciromelry is an ioni/ation method that can be used to obtain accurate molecular mass information about polar biopolymers ranging in molecular mass from a few thousand to several hundred thousand Da. The method was first described nearly simultaneously in 1988 by two research groups, one Cjerman and the other Japanese. Commercial instrumentation is available for MAI.DI. ... [Pg.559]

Unlike FAB/LSIMS, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) uses a crystalline, rather than liquid, matrix, and a beam of photons, rather than atoms or ions. The net result is a dramatic increase in both sensitivity and mass range of compounds that may be analyzed. The sample is dissolved in a matrix and is allowed to crystallize on a stainless-steel target. The target is then inserted into the mass spectrometer and the surface bombarded with a pulsed laser beam. Molecules are desorbed from the surface and ionize, usually by protonation or deprotonation. Any fragment or multiply charged ions are generally of low abundance in this ionization mode. The pulsed nature of the laser excitation renders this technique compatible with TOF, and the combined technique enjoys an almost limitless mass range. [Pg.2776]

A connnon feature of all mass spectrometers is the need to generate ions. Over the years a variety of ion sources have been developed. The physical chemistry and chemical physics communities have generally worked on gaseous and/or relatively volatile samples and thus have relied extensively on the two traditional ionization methods, electron ionization (El) and photoionization (PI). Other ionization sources, developed principally for analytical work, have recently started to be used in physical chemistry research. These include fast-atom bombardment (FAB), matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) and electrospray ionization (ES). [Pg.1329]

Some solid materials are very intractable to analysis by standard methods and cannot be easily vaporized or dissolved in common solvents. Glass, bone, dried paint, and archaeological samples are common examples. These materials would now be examined by laser ablation, a technique that produces an aerosol of particulate matter. The laser can be used in its defocused mode for surface profiling or in its focused mode for depth profiling. Interestingly, lasers can be used to vaporize even thermally labile materials through use of the matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) method variant. [Pg.280]

The ablated vapors constitute an aerosol that can be examined using a secondary ionization source. Thus, passing the aerosol into a plasma torch provides an excellent means of ionization, and by such methods isotope patterns or ratios are readily measurable from otherwise intractable materials such as bone or ceramics. If the sample examined is dissolved as a solid solution in a matrix, the rapid expansion of the matrix, often an organic acid, covolatilizes the entrained sample. Proton transfer from the matrix occurs to give protonated molecular ions of the sample. Normally thermally unstable, polar biomolecules such as proteins give good yields of protonated ions. This is the basis of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI). [Pg.399]

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) is widely used for the detection of organic molecules. One of the limitations of the method is a strong matrix background in low-mass (up to 500-700 Da) range. In present work an alternative approach based on the application of rough matrix-less surfaces and known as surface-assisted laser desoi ption/ionization (SALDI), has been applied. [Pg.140]

Most biochemical analyses by MS use either electrospray ionization (ESI) or matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALD1), typically linked to a time-of-flight (TOF) mass analyzer. Both ESI and MALDl are "soft" ionization methods that produce charged molecules with little fragmentation, even with biological samples of very high molecular weight. [Pg.417]

Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is a method for obtaining sequence and structural information by measurement of the mass-to-charge ratios of ionized molecules before and after dissociation reactions within a mass spectrometer which consists essentially of two mass spectrometers in tandem. In the first step, precursor ions are selected for further fragmentation by energy impact and interaction with a collision gas. The generated product ions can be analyzed by a second scan step. MS/MS measurements of peptides can be performed using electrospray or matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization in combination with triple quadruple, ion trap, quadrupole-TOF (time-of-flight), TOF-TOF or ion cyclotron resonance MS. Tandem... [Pg.1191]

Two relatively new techniques, matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-lime of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF) and electrospray ionization (FS1), offer new possibilities for analysis of polymers with molecular weights in the tens of thousands. PS molecular weights as high as 1.5 million have been determined by MALDI-TOF. Recent reviews on the application of these techniques to synthetic polymers include those by Ilantoif54 and Nielen.555 The methods have been much used to provide evidence for initiation and termination mechanisms in various forms of living and controlled radical polymerization.550 Some examples of the application of MALDI-TOF and ESI in end group determination are provided in Table 3.12. The table is not intended to be a comprehensive survey. [Pg.143]

The molecular weights and molecular weight distributions (MWD) of phenolic oligomers have been evaluated using gel permeation chromatography (GPC),23,24 NMR spectroscopy,25 vapor pressure osmometry (VPO),26 intrinsic viscosity,27 and more recently matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS).28... [Pg.385]

Mass spectroscopy is a useful technique for the characterization of dendrimers because it can be used to determine relative molar mass. Also, from the fragmentation pattern, the details of the monomer assembly in the branches can be confirmed. A variety of mass spectroscopic techniques have been used for this, including electron impact, fast atom bombardment and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) mass spectroscopy. [Pg.138]

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) is not yet a technique that has been used extensively for LC-MS applications. It is included here because it often provides analytical information complementary to that obtained from LC-MS with electrospray ionization, as illustrated later in Chapter 5. [Pg.55]

The unseparated digest mixture was studied directly by mass spectrometry using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) and this showed six of the polypeptides detected by LC-MS and three of the expected polypeptides that had not been detected by LC-MS. In contrast, MALDI did not show three polypeptides observed by LC-MS. [Pg.216]

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) A method used for the ionization of high-molecular-weight compounds. In this approach, the analyte is crystallized with a solid matrix and then bombarded with a laser of a frequency which is absorbed by the matrix material. [Pg.307]

Matrix material A material used in fast-atom bombardment and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization to transfer energy to an analyte molecule to bring about its ionization. [Pg.308]

Other pattern recognition strategies have been used for bacterial identification and data interpretation from mass spectra. Bright et al. have recently developed a software product called MUSE, capable of rapidly speciating bacteria based on matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectra.13 MUSE constructs a spectral database of representative microbial samples by using single point vectors to consolidate spectra of similar (not identical) microbial strains. Sample unknowns are then compared to this database and MUSE determines the best matches for identification purposes. In a... [Pg.118]
