The limits of performance of a linear time-of-flight mass spectrometer using matrix-assisted laser desorp tionlionization have been tested. Effects of the pressure in the vacuum system and the sampling rate of the digital oscilloscopes on mass resolution have been investigated. Spectra recorded at d

This report describes a new high-resolution linear time-of-flight mass spectrometer that has been constructed at this institute. The instrument is used for investigations of both direct and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization of large molecules. A unique feature of this new instrument is the
The study of fragment-ion signals as a function of delay time between the laser pulse and the pulsed extraction electric field in a linear reflectron offers a new technique for the determination of the formation rates of some of these fragments. It is shown that this technique has better time resolu
Partial 18 O-labeling of peptides has been applied to post-source decay experiments in a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The ions which originate from the carboxyl terminus of a peptide partially retain 18 O atoms which have readily been incorporated int
## Abstract Highโsensitivity, rapid identification of proteins in proteomic studies normally uses a combination of oneโ or twoโdimensional electrophoresis together with mass spectrometry. The simplicity and sensitivity of matrixโassisted laser desorption/ionization timeโofโflight mass spectrometry
