Abstract: | An automated sample preparation for high throughput accurate mass determinations by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS) has been developed. Sample preparation was performed with an automated workstation and automated mass analyses were performed with a commercial MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer. The method was tested with a 41-sample library. MALDI-TOFMS was found to give the needed sensitivity, accurate mass measurement, and soft ionization necessary for structure confirmation, even of mixtures. A mass accuracy of 5 ppm or less was obtained in over 80% of known compound measurements. A mass accuracy better than 10 ppm was obtained for all measurements of known compounds. Analyses of parallel synthesis products resulted in 77% of the measurements with a mass accuracy of 5 ppm or better. |
