Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS) and laser desorption/ionization (LDI-)TOFMS have been used to characterize Suwannee River humic substances, obtained from the International Humic Substances Society (IHSS), and Armadale soil fulvic acid (ASFA). An array of MALDI matrices were tested for use with humic substances, including alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinammic acid (CHCA), 2-(4-hydroxyphenylazo)benzoic acid (HABA), 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA), sinapinic acid, dithranol and norharmane. DHBA yielded the best results, exhibiting superior ionization efficiency, low noise, broad applicability to the analytes of interest, and most importantly producing an abundance of high mass ions, the highest observed being m/z 1848. A number of sample preparation modes were investigated; the overlayer method improved sample/matrix homogeneity and hence shot-to-shot reproducibility. The choice of the matrix, mass ratio of analyte to matrix, and the sample preparation protocol, were found to be the most critical factors governing the quality of the mass spectra. Matrix suppression was greatly enhanced by ensuring good mixing of matrix and analyte in the solid phase, proper optimization of the ma...Continue Reading
