Wiki resources for mass spectrometrists:
The wiki provides details of how to mass calibrate a MALDI TOFMS.
The wiki provides details of how to prepare samples for MALDI TOFMS analysis via electrospray deposition.
The wiki provides chemical and spectral information about commonly used MALDI matrices.
Wiki resources for instrumental analysis educators:
A wiki resource for instructors involved with a chemical instrumental analysis course.
The wiki is a source of "home-grown" laboratory experiments and instrument operation
information.
