=Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization (MALDI) Matrix Info=

Moderator: [|Kevin Owens]

The purpose of this wiki is to serve as a location to collect various molecular and spectroscopic information about molecules commonly used as "matrices" in the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization technique. In order to allow the widest distribution of this information, open-source tools will be used whenever possible.

 * //Solvent Information//**


 * //Molecular Information//**

UV/visible/NIR Data Information about how both the solution and solid state UV/visible spectra of the matrix materials are collected. Infrared Data Information about how the infrared absorption spectra of the matrix materials are collected. MALDI Data Information about how the MALDI TOFMS spectra of the matrix materials are collected.
 * //Information about Collected Spectra//**

Jmol Preparation A short description of how to create the [|Jmol] view of the molecule to include on the molecule information page. Bruker Data Conversion A description of how to convert the native-Bruker FID format data to [|JCAMP] format for viewing on-line using [|JSpecView]. This is a several step process, including modification of the JCAMP files to add the instrument parameter and sample preparation details to complete the spectral documentation. UV Data Conversion A description of how to convert data collected using the Perkin-Elmer UV Winlab software into a JCAMP.DX file that can be viewed online using JSpecView.
