摘要
A Fourier transform mass spectrometer with an external ion source has been modified for use with matrix-assisted laser desorption. High trapping potentials on the FTMS analyzer cell decelerate and trap the laser-produced ions, and a pulsed argon buffer gas cools them prior to detection. For gramicidin S, only one laser pulse is needed to produce mass spectra with a high signal-to-noise ratio and a mass resolution of 1 100 000 (FWHM). Several other oligopeptides and small proteins have been analyzed, including bovine insulin that was detected at a mass resolution of 90 000. These results represent the highest mass resolution ever demonstrated for ions made by MALDI.
