 MALDI MS
For any MALDI experiment employing TOF mass spectrometers with continuous ion extraction, metastable ion decay occurring in the ion source during ion acceleration produces incoherent ion noise in the resulting mass spectrum.
In a linear TOF mass spectrometer, metastable fragmentation which occurs post-source (i.e., in the field free region) is not apparent since precursor and metastable decay ions move with the same velocity (provided there are no post-source electrostatic fields) and arrive simultaneously at the detector.
The samples were inserted into the TOF mass spectrometer and the masses of the truncated (i.e., ladders) peptides were determined.
