Shining the light on samples • A focused laser beam, either in the UV or infrared ranges, can “evaporate” compounds from the solid phase • The resulting ions are injected into a tube (1 - 2 m in length), accelerated and allowed to drift towards a detector. Their time-of-flight is proportional to their (MW)1/2

Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization (MALDI) Short laser pulse Flight tube and drift region to measure the time-of-flight (TOF)

LC-MS analysis of mouse bile

Tauro-triOH Total ion current Tauro-diOH

Mouse bile does not contain ANY glycine conjugates of bile acids, only taurine conjugates. Several isomers are present.

Connecting CE and LC to MALDI analysis CE analysis

nanoLC analysis

Creates 20 mm wide tracks that can be scanned by MALDI laser for MS analysis

Parallel capture of effluents of 8 nanoLC separations on Mylar - can be scanned simultaneously by fast laser

Pros/Cons of laying down LC or EC separations on matrix plate • Allows off-line analysis both in real time and then in a retrospective mode • MALDI-TOF analysis is very fast • Can do TOF-TOF MS-MS analysis • BUT what happens chemically on the acidic environment on the surface of the plate during storage • Also, can the laser beam cause chemical changes?
