Abstract
Data reported here show that, in the delayed extraction matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (DE-MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometric analysis of synthetic polydisperse polymers, differentexperimental conditions of spectral recording are required to optimize the signal in all them/zregions ofthe spectrum. The effect of combined changes in delay time and grid voltage % values on both massresolution and mass accuracy of DE spectra of a polyethylene glycol sample (PEGmix, with a well-definedmolar distribution of its components) is discussed. The necessity of a compromise between the values ofthese two parameters is shown. Furthermore, the occurrence of analyte discrimination, which can invalidatethe composition analysis especially in the case of polymer blends, is demonstrated.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
