Presentation Transcript

  1. Sample spotting techniques • Dried droplet • Crushed crystal • Thin layer • Sandwich

  2. Dried Droplet • Most common method used with all matrices. • Premix sample and matrix solution in small vial (500 µL Eppendorf tube), spot 0.5 - 1 µL onto sample plate and air dry. • For small sample amounts, deposit 0.5 µL on plate, then add 0.5 µL matrix on top; mix and allow to dry.

  3. Crushed Crystal Method • Prepare a saturated solution of sinapinic acid (or CHCA) in 30% AcN. • Deposit 1 µL of this solution on the sample plate and allow to dry. • Crush the crystals formed with a spatula or a foil-wrapped pencil eraser. • Add 0.5 - 1 µL of sample in saturated matrix on top of the crystal layer and allow to dry.

  4. Thin Layer • Use 10 mg/mL CHCA in acetone. Apply 0.5 µL to plate and dry. • Place 0.5 µL sample in 0.1% TFA on top of the matrix layer and allow to dry. • If sample is not acidified, 0.5 µL 0.1% TFA can be added to the plate, then the sample.

  5. Sandwich Method • Deposit 0.5 µL matrix(in acetone or methanol) on plate and let dry. • Add 0.5 µL sample in 0.1% TFA, then 0.5 µL matrix (in 50% Acn with 0.1% TFA) and dry in air.

  6. Ideal Sample Concentrations • Peptides and proteins: 0.1 to 10 µM • Oligonucleotides: 10 to 100 µM • Polymers: 100 µM
