Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a matrix material of MALDI, specifically the application of water-soluble multi-walled carbon nanotubes in MALDI-MS as a matrix of MALDI. Background technique
[0002] In 1988, Tanaka and Hillenkamp independently proposed a technology to assist analyte desorption and ionization by absorbing laser energy through a matrix, called Matrix Assisted LaserDesorption / Ionization (MALDI). Combined with time-of-flight mass spectrometry, this technology has become a powerful tool in biotechnology. It has been successfully applied to the detection of biological macromolecules such as proteins, DNA / RNA, and polysaccharides, and won the 2002 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. However, the introduction of the matrix brings a large number of matrix peaks in the low molecular weight range, resulting in serious background interference, thus limiting the application of this method in the analysis of small molecules. In addition, factors such as the choice...
