The origin of ions in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry is currently a matter of active research. A number of chemical and physical pathways have been suggested for MALDI ion formation, including gas-phase photoionization, ion-molecule reactions, disproportionatio

A series of sodium cluster ions, such as Na+(NaCl),, Na'(HCOONa), and Na+(HCOONa),,(CH,C00Na)n2, were observed in electrospray mass spectrometry. These results support the electrophoretic separation mechanism for excess ions at droplet surface, and the charged residue model for gas phase ion formati
The formation mechanisms of secondary ions from organic targets under MeV ion bombardment were studied with a high-resolution time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer. Promptly formed ions H n + , C n + and C n H + were used for calibrating the TOF scale. Theoretical flight times of other ions were ca
Experiments to perform mass spectrometry with ion traps of submillimeter dimension are described. Several trap geometries amenable to microfabrication have been explored. In these experiments, vaporphase molecules were ionized by a pulse from a frequency-quadrupled Nd:YAG laser. The ions were trappe
A plasma source ion trap (PSIT) mass spectrometer has been modified to incorporate a radiofrequency octopole ion guide/collision cell between the ion source and the mass spectrometer. This modification allows ions sampled from the plasma to undergo reactions prior to mass spectrometric analysis. Thi
