matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation

A process in mass spectrometry in which sample molecules are mixed with an excess of an energy-absorbing matrix and co-crystallised in a thin film on an inert metal support. Repeated irradiation of the film with a pulsed laser releases ions from the surface, which can be accelerated into a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Because the matrix is usually a solid organic acid, the predominant mode of ionisation is protonation of the sample molecule M to form M H.

The assays are utilised to determine hemoglobin variants and diabetes risk, using Bruker's Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionisation (MALDI) Biotyper platform for clinical mass spectrometry and based on intellectual property developed at the UVic GBC Proteomics Centre.

The new Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry based test for hbA1c and genetic hemoglobin variants is intended for use on the MALDI Biotyper platform is likely to provide specificity, accuracy, speed of analysis and cost per analysis.
