| | Mauritz - MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry |
 | | Even with the continuous distribution of the spectra, the data for the PEG-23,000 sample shows the polymer distribution is 20,000 to 25,000 g/mol, possessing a maximum of the distribution at 22930 and the centroid mass at 22950. |
 | | This spectra has a continuous distribution due to convolution of the molecular ions, however, the molar mass for individual oligomers is apparent, as shown in the insert, with a peak-to-peak mass resolution of 104 g/mol. |
 | | In this poly(styrene) spectra, the dimer, trimer, and tetramer ion distributions are observed. |
