Matrix-assisted ultraviolet laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UV-MALDI-TOF-MS) has shown to be a very useful technique for the study of the non-volatile and thermally non-stable N-acylated glycopyranosyl- and glycofuranosyl-amines. Of the several matrices tested, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) was the most effective giving good spectra in the positive-ion mode. In the linear and reflectron modes, the [M+Na](+) ions appeared with high intensity. Their fragmentation patterns were investigated by post-source decay (PSD) UV-MALDI-TOF-MS showing mainly cross-ring cleavages. In addition, N,O-acylated glycopyranosyl- and glycofuranosyl-amines were also analyzed by this technique. PSD UV-MALDI-TOF-MS gave significant signals for several primary fragment ions, which were proposed but not detected, or observed with very low abundance, in electron ionization mass spectrometry (EI-MS) experiments.

Imaged capillary isoelectric focusing was successfully applied for separating an in-house synthesized closely related peptide pair, that is, a linear 12-mer (Rp5-L) and its cyclic 15-mer variant (Rp5-C). Rp5-L represents a mimotope, that is, an epitope mimicking peptide, of the CD20 antigen, which is over-expressed in B-cell-related tumors. Peptide identity-including the successful disulfide bond formation in Rp5-C-was confirmed with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry.

In this study, we employed platinum-assisted surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) (Pt-SALDI-MSI) to detect and visualize the spatial distribution of antioxidant additives and organic dyes in polystyrene films undergoing photodegradation. In traditional matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS), matrix-derived ion peaks often obscure signals from low-molecular-weight analytes. Pt-SALDI-MSI, which utilizes inorganic nanoparticles instead of an organic matrix, enables the interference-free analysis of low-molecular-weight compounds, thereby addressing the limitation of traditional MALDI-MS.

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) and surface-assisted laser desorption ionization (SALDI) mass spectrometry (MS), which can detect biomolecules and polymers, are widely used in biochemistry and material science. Some compounds that are difficult to ionize using MALDI can be ionized using SALDI. However, it is difficult to obtain high ion yields using SALDI/MS.

Article Synopsis
- - Legionnaires' disease (LD) is a serious pneumonia caused by Legionella bacteria, prompting researchers to explore new detection methods for these pathogens in water samples.
- - A study involving 10 labs evaluated UV-light detection alongside the standard ISO method, utilizing a test panel of 298 bacterial strains, leading to consistent positive identification of Legionella strains.
- - The findings suggest that using UV-light for identifying Legionella could enhance efficiency by reducing analysis time, workload, and costs, while maintaining accuracy in water testing.
