Background：

With the further development of mass spectrometry, its application in vitro diagnosis is more and more extensive. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) is a new kind of soft ionization biomass spectrometry developed in recent years, which is simple and efficient both in theory and in design. At present, it has been effectively applied in clinical testing fields such as microbial identification and nucleic acid detection.

Introduction of theory：

Molecular mass is the most basic physical and chemical property parameter of organic compounds. The correct molecular mass often represents the correct structure of the measured organic compounds and biological macromolecules. MALDI-TOF-MS works by dispersing the sample in matrix molecules and forming crystals, and filling the point target. By irradiating the sample with a high photon energy ultraviolet pulse laser, the matrix absorbs energy from the laser, and charge transfer occurs between the matrix and the sample to ionize the sample molecules. The ionized sample flies through the vacuum flight tube under electric field, and is detected according to the different flight time to the detector, that is, the ion is analyzed by the mass charge ratio (M/Z) of the ion is proportional to the flight time of the ion, and the molecular mass of the sample molecule is measured.
