Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-MS)

Purpose
Determination of the molecular weight of oligosaccharides, glycopeptides, glycoproteins, and other glycoconjugates.

Amount of Sample Required for Analysis
A minimum of 50 picomoles of carbohydrate is required.

General Criteria for Sample Preparation
Your sample should be pure, soluble in water or volatile organics, and free of non-volatile salts, buffers, and detergents. MALDI-MS can be performed on samples up to about 150 kDa.
