Matrix (mass spectrometry)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about ionization assisting compounds for mass spectrometry. For the non-analyte components of a sample, see matrix (chemical analysis).

In mass spectrometry, a matrix is a compound that promotes the formation of ions. Matrix compounds are used in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI), matrix-assisted ionization (MAI), and fast atom bombardment (FAB).

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization[]

MALDI is an ionization technique where laser energy is absorbed by a matrix to create ions from large molecules without fragmentation. The matrix, typically in excess, is mixed with the analyze molecule and deposited on a target. A table of matrix compounds, their structures, laser wavelengths typically used, and typical application is shown below.

Matrix-assisted ionization[]

Matrix-assisted ionization is an ionization method in mass spectrometry that creates ions via the creation of particles at atmospheric pressure and transfer to the vacuum of the mass analyzer.[8]

Fast atom bombardment[]

FAB uses a high energy beam of atoms directed at a surface to create ions.[10] FAB matrix compounds are typically liquids.
