Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) is becoming a key method in expanding the characterization capabilities of synthetic polymers. While there are still some analytical limitations, technological and methodological improvements have greatly improved this technique for analyzing large molecules. This paper serves as an investigation into MALDI-Time of Flight (TOF) capabilities and potential applications as the Material Science Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory seeks to expand its analytical capabilities. Three MALDI-TOF instrument offerings from Bruker, an industry-leader in MALDI-TOF polymer analysis that will evaluated in further detail.
