โฆ Synopsis
A continuing effort in mass spectrometry is to optimize desorption/ionization processes in order to enhance analyte ion yields and reduce fragmentation. The effect of small carbohydrate and amino acid matrices on the yield of secondary ions from vitamin B 12 (cyanocobalamin) was examined using plasma desorption mass spectrometry. The extent of the corrin decomposition is dependent upon the matrix-to-analyte ratio. The enhanced yields of the high-mass fragment ion [M-CN + H] + and the ions corresponding to protonated molecules, however, are dependent upon both the matrix-to-analyte ratio and the nature of the matrix.

A novel technique is presented for the study of post-source decay in matrix-assisted laser desorption time-of-flight mass spectrometry. By introducing a voltage labelling cell within the field-free region we have been able to distinguish between intact ions, fragmented ions and neutrals in a linear
The time-of-flight effect in Fourier transform mass spectrometry (FTMS) with an external ion source was quantified. The time-of-flight profiles of ions of different masses were measured by stepping the time interval between the ionization pulse and the gating of the trapping voltage (T gate ). The o
