LC-MALDI-MS:  Multidimensional LC-MS
The integration of LC with MALDI-TOF MS has been advanced in several ways.  Improved data processing of  LC-MS 2D spectra can remove chemical noise, greatly enhancing signal-to-noise ratios of low abundance components.  Combined with algorithms for optimizing a precursor ion list for MS/MS analysis, we can identify over 20% more unique proteins than using standard data processing approaches.  To increase the throughput of MALDI-TOF MS, we have built a MALDI spectrometer utilizing a laser with a 2 kHz repetition-rate laser, over 10-fold faster than commercial (10-300 Hz) instruments.   Its data acquisition rate of  2 samples per second cuts the MS analysis time from 4.5 hours to 12 minutes, per plate of 700 samples.  When used with a system built to multiplex multiple LC separations into parallel depositions on a MALDI plate, fast MALDI significantly increases LC-MS throughput relative to on-line (ESI) methods.
