“…Detailed descriptions have been provided − for preparation of SAM surfaces with various chemical functionalities. The type of SAM surface used is indicated by the abbreviated name, which refers to the nature of the terminal functionality of the surface-bound, long-chain hydrocarbon.…”
A preparative mass spectrometer for microarray fabrication is reported. The instrument includes an atmospheric pressure ionization source, a linear ion trap mass analyzer, an ion collection surface positioning system, and a surface loading chamber with independent vacuum pumping. It was designed for the production of protein arrays using the ion soft-landing technique to collect ions on a surface after separation by mass/charge ratio. Small microarrays have been prepared by isolating and soft landing individual protein or peptide ions after electrospray ionization of mixtures. The composition and purity of the separated materials has been confirmed using independent external mass spectrometric analysis of rinse solutions of the collected spots, either by the new method of electrosonic spray ionization MS or by nanospray ionization MS. The ability to retain bioactivity in the mass-selected and collected biomolecules has been demonstrated in particular cases. The reported instrument has also been characterized as an analytical mass spectrometer.

“…The mass spectra show distinctive features associated with these two different substrates (Figure ). For different isomeric oxygenated adsorbates, hydrogen atom abstraction by the C 5 H 5 N + ion was found to be favored at CH 3 CH 2 O- and CH 3 O-terminated surfaces relative to the HO-terminated surface …”
“…This fact can be used to obtain specific information on its chemical composition. An example is the reaction of SiCl 3 + at isomeric surfaces, bearing functional groups such as HO–, CH 3 O–, and CH 3 CH 2 O– . The distinctive product formation provides qualitative information about the nature of the isomeric surfaces.…”
“…For different isomeric oxygenated adsorbates, hydrogen atom abstraction by the C 5 H 5 N + ion was found to be favored at CH 3 CH 2 O-and CH 3 O-terminated surfaces relative to the HO-terminated surface. 310 Pyrazine molecular ions (C 4 H 4 N 2 + ) have been the subject of many studies and have been shown to be able to pick up hydrogen atoms, methyl radicals, and groups containing multiple carbon atoms 67,77 (see Scheme 2). Data from isotopically mixed surfaces show that the carbon units originate from a single chain and are transferred as intact alkyl groups.…”

“…An example is the reaction of SiCl 3 + at isomeric surfaces, bearing functional groups such as HO−, CH 3 O−, and CH 3 CH 2 O−. 310 The distinctive product formation provides qualitative information about the nature of the isomeric surfaces. Scattering of SiCl 3 + ion at 60 eV collision yields dissociative ion/surface reaction products, e.g., SiCl 2 OH + and SiCl 2 OCH 3 + , from the HO-terminated and CH 3 O-terminated surfaces, respectively.…”
Figure 2. Ion/surface collision spectrum recorded after collision of 30 eV benzene molecular ions at an H-SAM surface. The ion at m/z 91 corresponds to the addition of a methyl group followed by loss of H 2 and that at m/z 65 to further loss of C 2 H 2 . The peak at m/z 79 is due to a H atom abstraction reaction. The inset shows the collision process and some reaction products. Reprinted from ref 72.
