Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectra were recorded on a magnetic sector mass spectrometer using the point detector by using the laser pulses to outline the ion peaks. The instrument was set to scan slowly so that about 10 laser shots were fired during the time the instrument took

β¦ Synopsis
A new matrix consisting of a binary mixture of a-cyano-4-hydroxyannamic acid and 5amino-quinoline has been deveioped specifically for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) analysis on magnetic sector mass spectrometers with point detectors. The major benefit of this matrix is that it is a viscous liquid with a self-healing surface. These properties provide very long-lasting and reasonably constant ion currents from pmol quantities of analyte, allowing MALDI-magnetic sector spectra to be obtained even though a non-integrating point detector is used. The applicability of this matrix for biological samples is demonstrated by analyzing a mixture of complex N-linked oligosaccharides with the new liquid matrix and with several traditional solid MALDI matrices both on magnetic sector and time-of-flight instruments.
