β¦ Synopsis
The laser power dependence on matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS) has been studied by mixing equimolar amounts of three kinds of monodisperse poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). Employing optimum laser power, the molecular weight information of the polydisperse PMMA was obtained, and the result compared with that obtained from supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The average molecular weight of PMMA, obtained from the MALDI-MS experiment, was found to be higher than that obtained from both SFC and GPC. The result implies that MALDI-MS can detect higher molecular species of the polymer.

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) measurements of polymeric materials of narrow polydispersity provide molecular weight measurements that agree closely with those from conventional tools such as gel-permeation chromatography (GPC). However, materials that have a broader molecular w
Synthetic polymers having a polydispersity greater than 1.1 cannot be reliably characterized by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight mass spectrometry alone. This complication has been overcome by off-line coupling of size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) with MALDI. Data
