We present ion mass spectra obtained by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization for analytes of approximately 1000 Da across the largest range of wavelengths and pulse durations to date. The matrix used in all cases was 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid. Based on the data and fundamentals of laser-mater

Dear Sir, Dissecting Matrix-assisted Laser Desorptionfionization Mass Spectra Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI)' mass spectrometry (MS) is a technique that is evolving at rapid rate. Readers who have been dazzled by the detection limit and molecular mass barriers of MS that MALDI has shattered may have a very different view of the method from users of MALDI MS. When faced with an electron impact ionization mass spectrum of a volatile organic compound, most mass spectrometrists understand the correct context in which to interpret the spectrum, that is, they have a reasonable idea of the experimental conditions and how the spectrum was probably obtained. This is not the case with MALDI MS.

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) has successfully been used to differentiate pseudo-enantiomeric (isotopically labelled) amino acids by using cyclodextrin as complexing host. By using different pseudo-enantiomeric mixtures (i.e. R Dn S; and R S Dn ), it has be
