What a mass spectrometer can do? A mass spectrometer can only be used to measure mass-to-charge (M/Z) ratio and subsequently to obtain the mass of a particle. Nevertheless, mass is usually the most important information. There are several methods can be used to break up the particles into smaller fragments. From the mass of fragments, molecular structures can often be determined. Therefore MS has become the most valuable analytical tool. Its applications include nearly every research field and every industry.
Schematic of Mass Spectrometry Ionization → Desorption (solid) ↓ Mass-to-charge ratio Analyzer ↓ Detection
Limitation on MS Detection Sensitivity • Although MS has been considered a very sensitive instrument, the overall detection sensitivity is often much less than 0.01. Capability of detecting 1 attomole usually means detecting 1 in ~106 molecules in the sample. • Desorption efficiency:~100% with a careful design • Ionization Efficiency: <<1%; Key factor for low detection sensitivity • Mass Analyzer: ~100% is possible; TOF • Detection: small M/Z: OK; Large M/Z: poor
Laser & MS for Biomolecule Detection MALDI (Matrix-assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization) Laser ablation of a solid sample which contains most small molecules plus a little bit of large molecules. Small molecule is served as matrix. Desorption is due to the strong absorption of laser photons by matrix which carries the large analyte molecules into gas phase. Ionization mechanism is still not well known. Pion / Pneutral << 0.1%
Low Secondary ejection efficiency for ions with low velocity
Laser Induced Acoustic Desorption (LIAD) • Broad energy distribution is one key factor for poor mass resolution for MALDI. • With laser acoustic desorption, matrix can possibly be eliminated so that broad energy distribution as well as adducts and fragmentation can mostly be prevented. All major factors which cause poor mass resolution by MALDI can be mostly eliminated by laser induced acoustic desorption. Thus, better mass resolution is expected.

Size comparison of PMFMS to a commercial MALDI-TOF (Jung-Lee Lin, Ming-Lee Chu) Portable MS BRUKER Ultraflex II (TOF/TOF)
Portable Multiple Function MS • Putting MALDI, ESI and LIAD in one MS. No other MS can do due to the incompatibility of MALDI to ion trap. Conventional ion trap can only measure M/Z up to ~4000. For MALDI, M/Z can easily reach to 100,000. Therefore, ion trap cannot be used to replace time-of-flight (TOF). All bio labs need to have a MALDI-TOF and an ESI-ion trap for proteomic analysis. • Mass Range can cover from atom to cell. The mass range can be covered is 10 orders of magnitude higher than commercial mass spectrometer. • It can measure a single virus, cell, nanoparticle, and microparticle. For small molecules, the number of ions can be directly measured. • It can measure charge directly few commercial MS can do.
Proteomics All ~omics aims to analyze all compounds in a biological system which can be cell, tissue, organ or body fluid such as serum, plasma, urine, sweat, exhaled air and etc. Proteomic aims to analyze all proteins. Approach: (1) Bottom-up: from peptide analysis to identify proteins through protein ID. Advantage: Easy & Fast; Disadvantage: Difficult to analyze mutated or PTM- proteins. (2) Top-Down: Detecting the entire proteins and identify the protein by fragments. Advantages: All proteins can be analyzed in principle. Disadvantages: Time-consuming & Some technical barriers need to be overcome
