Analysis of high molecular weight polystyrene standards by using JMS-S3000 "SpiralTOF™" with Linear TOF option.
MSTips No.199
An example of the analysis of low molecular weight Polystyrene (PS) by using JMS-S3000 SpiralTOF™ MALDI-TOFMS was already shown in MSTips No.163 .
This time, high molecular weight polystyrene standards (TSKgel Standard Polystyrene F-4 (Mw = 3.72x104), F-10 (Mw = 9.89x104), and F-20 (Mw = 1.89x105), Tosoh Corporation) were analyzed by using JMS-S3000 SpiralTOF™ with Linear TOF option(Fig. 1).
For F-4, peaks were observed at every 104 u, which is the repeating unit of PS. For both F-10 and F-20, expected distributions around their respective average molecular weights were obtained (Fig. 2).
Wide applications of the Linear TOF option for the analyses of high molecular weight synthetic polymers are expected.
