Abstract
Experimental results from equimolar PEG and protein standards samples are presented from a MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer equipped with both ionizing detectors and the novel single molecule sensitive cryodetectors. The data are consistent with a model hypothesis suggesting that the observed decrease in signal strength in conventional ionizing detector MALDI-TOF mass spectrometers can be explained by the exponentially decreasing quantum efficiency of ionizing detectors. Cryodetectors, in contrast, have a mass independent detection efficiency of 100% on impact and provide additional information on the molecule state owing to the calorimetric nature of the detection mechanism.Entities:
