โฆ Synopsis
A tunable Cr:LiSAF laser-pumped optical parametric oscillator was used for mid-infrared matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry experiments. The mass spectra of substance P, bovine insulin and pd(T) 10 in the 2.88-2.96 ยตm range showed excellent single shot signal quality (signal-to-noise-ratio, resolution) but poor shot-to-shot reproducibility. The reproducibility is expected to improve with more stable laser design. No correlation was found between the absorption sepectrum of the matrix and the MALDI response.

Continuous flow matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) was demonstrated with infrared laser desorption and an ethanol matrix. A capillary was used to deliver an analyte solution dissolved in ethanol to a metal frit embedded in a sample stage. Typical flow rates were 1.7&mgrL/min. An opt
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization was used for the detection of four base short tandem repeats (STR) for clinical samples using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Since STR plays an important role in genetic disease and human identification, this work indicates that laser desorption mass
