Technical Field
The application belongs to the field of MALDI detection, and particularly relates to a MALDI detection method of small molecular oligosaccharides.
Background
MALDI-TOF-MS is a novel soft ionization biological mass spectrum, and has been developed as an indispensable analysis tool for analyzing various types of biological molecules due to simple sample preparation, high analysis speed, high throughput, high sensitivity and high salt tolerance, and has been rapidly developed in recent years, thereby playing an important role in analysis and detection. The choice of the matrix is always focused, the perfection and improvement of the matrix performance can enable the detection result of MALDI-TOF-MS to have higher accuracy and sensitivity, smaller background noise and cleaner spectrogram, and the common matrix is generally a plurality of organic small molecules with conjugated structures, forms co-crystallization with the analyte, and absorbs laser energy to transmit to the analyte for ionization. In the case of performing saccharide analysis by MALDI-TOF-MS, MALDI detection of saccharides has a great challenge due to the low ionization efficiency of saccharides.
