Abstract: Surface-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry (SALDI-MS) is an analytical technique enabling direct chemical analysis of solid samples. Analytes could be desorbed/ionized upon nitrogen laser irradiation from a SALDI substrate-coated sample, then analyzed by MS. The substrate is involved in the transfer of laser energy to the analytes, and eventually assists the desorption/ionization of analytes. The analytical performance of SALDI-MS, such as detection sensitivity, is dependent on different parameters of the substrate, such as size, morphology and form. In this thesis, the effects of several substrate parameters on the SALDI process were investigated. SALDI-MS based Imaging Mass Spectrometry (IMS) method was also developed using efficient SALDI substrate identified in the fundamental studies. IMS is a chemical-specific mapping technique which allows parallel mapping of multiple analytes in solid samples. The desorption mechanism of SALDI is investigated using two groups of substrate, the carbon allotropes and the noble metal nanoparticles. Ion desorption efficiency and internal energy transfer were probed and correlated in carbon-based SALDI. It was found that the ion desorption efficiency and internal energy transfer was in opposite order. Substrate that transferred more internal energy to ions did not show higher ion desorption efficiency. This result could not be explained by the Thermal Desorption model which was a generally believed mechanism of the SALDI desorption process. A non-thermal model, the Phase Transition model is proposed to account for the SALDI desorption process. The Phase Transition model suggests that the substrate is melted/ restructured upon laser irradiation, and this will assist ion desorption. The Phase Transition model is supported by the morphological change of carbon substrates after SALDI and high initial velocity of ions desorbed by carbon-based SALDI (> 1,000 ms-1). SALDI-MS is useful for small molecule analysis due to the relatively clean background in the low mass region. SALDI-IMS is developed and applied to the imaging of spatial distribution of small molecules in forensic and biological samples. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was selected as the substrate from several other noble metal NPs. A solvent-free method, argon ion sputtering, was employed for coating AuNPs on sample surface prior to SALDI-IMS analysis. Fine details of the samples, such as the fine pattern of latent fingerprints and handwriting on questioned documents can be preserved and imaged reliably by avoiding the use of solvent. Fatty acids, drugs and ink components can be imaged in forensic samples including latent fingerprints, banknotes and checks. The solvent-free SALDI-IMS method was also applied to image the distribution of metabolites in intact animal tissues. Spatial distributions of neurotransmitters, nucleobases and fatty acids can be imaged from mouse brain and tumor tissue sections. DOI: 10.5353/th_b4714555 Subjects: Mass spectrometry Imaging systems
Download or read book Matrix assisted Laser Desorption Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometry for Biological Compounds written by and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent development of matrix-assisted UV laser desorption (LD) mass spectrometry has made possible the ionization and detection of extremely large molecules (with molecular weights exceeding 100,000 Daltons). This technique has generated enormous interest in the biological community for the direct examination of large peptides and oligonucleotides. Although this matrix-assisted ionization method has been developed and used almost exclusively with time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometers, research is currently in progress to demonstrate this technique with trapped ion mass spectrometers, such as Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTMS). The potential capabilities of FTMS for wide mass range, high resolution measurement, and ion trapping experiments suggest that this instrumental technique should be useful for the detailed structural characterization of large ions generated by the matrix-assisted technique. We have recently demonstrated that matrix-assisted ultraviolet laser desorption can be successfully used with FTMS for the ionization of small peptides. The objective of this report is to summarize the application and current limitations of matrix-assisted laser desorption FTMS for the characterization of peptides and oligonucleotides at the isomeric level. 4 refs., 3 figs., 2 tabs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last two decades there has been considerable growth in the development of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) as a practical method in the study of reaction mechanisms. This method allows the interception and characterization of key intermediates, either as transient species or as protonated/deprotonated forms of neutral species by API-MS. The outstanding features and advantages of ESI-MS make it one of the most suitable tools for the fast screening of intermediates directly from solution, providing hitherto unavailable chemical information to organic chemists. This monograph provides an overview of the mechanisms involved in ESI-MS, the historical perspectives before looking further in-depth at specific reactions and intermediates. Written by researchers in the field, this book is an unique resource for the understanding of this cutting-edge technique.
