Structural Analysis of Industrial Materials by MALDI-MS/MS 02 - Analysis of Nonionic Surfactants -

Introduction

MALDI-TOF MS is a widely used analytical technique for the structural analysis of various industrial materials. In addition to monomer repeat unit mass information, partial structural elucidation can be achieved through MS/MS analysis by applying high- energy collision-induced dissociation (CID). Here we introduce an example of MS/MS analysis of a nonionic surfactant, a high surface-active agent which is used extensively in chemical and other industrial applications.
