A novel tandem time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer has been developed for studying the photo-induced dissociation of large molecules and elemental clusters. It consists of a linear first stage TOF analyser for primary mass separation and precursor ion selection, and a second orthogonal reflecting

β¦ Synopsis
A progressive upgrading of the data processing techniques for monitoring the temporal behaviour of fast transient reactions using time-of-flight mass spectrometry has been carried out at Salford over the past three decades. The earlier work was focused on the development of sophisticated signal processing techniques. Recently, computerization, using an advanced digitizing oscilloscope, has significantly simplified the signal processing system. Software, developed in-house, is able to provide more reliable and comprehensive information on fast transient reactions than was previously the case.

## Abstract Two conjugated polymers (CPs), poly(9,9βdioctylfluorene) (PF) and poly(3βoctylthiophene) (PT) were analyzed by direct laser desorption/ionization timeβofβflight mass spectrometry (LDIβToF MS). Because of their strong absorption near the wavelength of the laser (337 nm), easy and transie
Direct desorption/ionization (no matrix) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) were tested for the analysis of four pesticides, aldicarb, aminotriazole, dinoterb and ioxynil, at the 0.1 mg/L level in water. Only MALDI provided good sensitivities, except for aldicarb. The most inter
We have developed a method for constructing and extracting matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) fingerprints. This method is fully automated and statistically based, allowing a large number of spectra to be analyzed at a time in an objective manner. This method can be used to extract
In this paper, the time resolution for kinetic studies of reactions with mass spectrometric detection is characterized in detail, and it is shown how this allows faster kinetic processes to be determined. The time-resolved technique used pulsed laser photolysis to initiate reaction and a time-of-fli
