β¦ Synopsis
Phenomenological models were proposed to explain the experimentally observed dependence of protein ion yields with laser fluence in matrix-assisted laser desorption. Assuming that the illuminating laser had a Gaussian intensity profile at the sample being examined, it was possible to fit the experimental points with a model that only assumes a fluence threshold for ion production. No additional dependence of protein ion yield on illuminating fluence above the threshold value was necessary to explain the data.

Dependences of positive and negative analyte-ion and matrix-ion signals upon pulse energy (at 266 nm) have been measured in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI), for a liquid matrix (3-nitrobenzyl alcohol) and for a solid matrix (sinapinic acid). The analyte was the protein bovine ins
## Abstract The mechanisms responsible for matrixβassisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) are far from being well understood, particularly where infrared laser irradiation is used to initiate the process. We measured the emission yields and kinetic energy distributions of positive ions emitted
An ion trap has been modified for the analysis of high mass ions generated by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization. Samples are deposited on a probe tip and introduced directly onto the hyperbolically shaped surface of one endcap. All three electrodes - both the endcaps and the ring electrode
