The mass dependence of the velocity distributions of analyte molecules in matrix-assisted laser desorption is analyzed based on the results of molecular dynamics simulations. The spread of the velocities along the direction of the flow is found to be independent of the mass of the analyte molecules

## As recently shown in Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry studies (Rapid Commun. Mass Spectrom. 11, 1602, 1997), photochromic systems can be used as molecular probe for the study of matrix-assited laser desorption ionization (MALDI) processes inducing the typical formatio
A scheme of matrix ionization in UV matrix-assisted laser desorptiodionization is presented. Excitation to an upper lying electronic singlet state by the absorption of two photons and subsequent thermionic emission by vibronic coupling is proposed as the primary route for the formation of unprotonat
Two-phase matrices, consisting of a binary mixture of solid particulates and a low vapour pressure liquid, are shown to be effective for the production of both positive-ion and negative-ion laser desorption/ionization mass spectra (LDI-MS). It was found that matrix selection can be guided by criteri
