Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry allows the rapid characterization of large molecules such as peptides, proteins and polymers. There is currently no MALDI mass spectrometer in the chemistry department at the University of Toronto. There are 10 research groups from within the chemistry department that require student access to a MALDI-MS instrument on a daily basis to realize their research goals. Due to the complete breakdown of our current instrument, we now have no internal facility for such measurements and have had to seek specialized service facilities to run these analyses for us. Much of our work depends on this technique. Access to a MALDI mass spectrometer would enable hands-on training, develop skills in MS interpretation, and greatly enhance the pace of scientific discovery in a diverse group of research programs.

基质辅助激光解吸电离 (MALDI) 质谱可以快速表征肽、蛋白质和聚合物等大分子。多伦多大学化学系目前没有MALDI质谱仪。化学系内有 10 个研究小组要求学生每天使用 MALDI-MS 仪器来实现他们的研究目标。由于我们当前的仪器完全损坏，我们现在没有用于此类测量的内部设施，并且不得不寻求专门的服务设施来为我们运行这些分析。我们的大部分工作都依赖于这种技术。使用 MALDI 质谱仪将能够进行实践培训，培养 MS 解释技能，并大大加快各种研究项目中科学发现的步伐。
