Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS) is shown to give inaccurate results for the analysis of low molecular weight ethoxylate polymers. It is demonstrated that when the degree of ethoxylation is low (n < 9), MALDI-TOFMS produces substantially high

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry was used for qualitative and quantitative end-group analysis of a small molecular weight polyester, poly(2-butyl-2-ethyl-1,3-propylene phthalate). The presence of carboxyl-terminated linear and cyclic polyester
Structural analyses of oligosaccharide-malononitrile derivatives were conducted by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization post-source decay (MALDI-PSD) analysis in positive ion mode, and by electrospray ionization collision-induced dissociation (ESI-CID) analysis in negative ion mode.

The use of UV-absorbing molecules as matrices in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS) is well documented. The matrices that are currently used have low molecular weights (`300 Da) and thus, for a typical MALDI-TOF spectrum, the low-mass range (m/
