Analysis of Peptide Nucleic Acids (PNAs) using the MALDI-8020 benchtop linear MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer

Introduction

Matrix assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of- flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is gaining popularity due to the ability of MALDI-MS to quickly provide information on accurate molecular mass using a simple sample preparation workflow. The MALDI-TOF MS can be used to confirm and guide synthesis of PNA oligomers, either in QC or R&D laboratories. Here, we demonstrate the analysis of three PNA samples using MALDI-8020 benchtop linear MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer.
