In biological mass spectrometry (MS), two ionization techniques are predominantly employed for the analysis of larger biomolecules, such as polypeptides. These are nano-electrospray ionization [1, 2](nanoESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization [3, 4](MALDI). Both techniques are considered to be “soft”, allowing the desorption and ionization of intact molecular analyte species and thus their successful mass-spectrometric analysis. One of the main differences between these two ionization techniques lies in their ability to produce multiply charged ions. MALDI typically generates singly charged peptide ions whereas nanoESI easily provides multiply charged ions, even for peptides as low as 1000 Da in mass. The production of highly charged ions is desirable as this allows the use of mass analyzers, such as ion traps (including orbitraps) and hybrid quadrupole instruments, which typically offer only a limited m/z range (< 2000–4000). It also enables more informative fragmentation spectra using techniques such as collisioninduced dissociation (CID) and electron capture/transfer dissociation (ECD/ETD) in combination with tandem MS (MS/MS).[5, 6] Thus, there is a clear advantage of using ESI in research areas where peptide sequencing, or in general, the structural elucidation of biomolecules by MS/MS is required. Nonetheless, MALDI with its higher tolerance to contaminants and additives, ease-of-operation, potential for highspeed and automated sample preparation and analysis as well as its MS imaging capabilities makes it an ionization technique that can cover bioanalytical areas for which ESI is less suitable.[7, 8] If these strengths could be combined with the analytical power of multiply charged ions, new instrumental configurations and large-scale proteomic analyses based on MALDI MS (/MS) would become feasible. In previous papers, the benefits of liquid matrices in IR-and UV-MALDI MS were demonstrated.[9–11] For liquid UVMALDI MS, these benefits include a stable and durable analyte ion yield over thousands of laser shots and the capacity of these matrices to accommodate matrix additives that can change the properties of the MALDI sample significantly. It has been shown that these properties of liquid matrices can be exploited for highly accurate analyte quantitation [11] and a wide coverage of MALDI sample pH values.[12] The broad pH range enabled tryptic digestion within the MALDI sample and the detection of its products by MS.[12]Atmospheric pressure (AP)-MALDI has been shown to facilitate the formation of multiply charged protein as well as peptide ions, although the sensitivity is lower and an infrared laser must be employed.[13] Doubly charged peptide ions were also recorded under intermediate pressure in UV-MALDI MS and under vacuum pressure using IR-MALDI MS,[14] but with a much lower signal intensity than for singly charged ions. The possibility of generating multiply charged ions with higher yield by changing the matrix and ion-source design was discussed.[14] Subsequently, Zenobi et al. reported alternative MALDI sample-preparation methods to increase the yield of multiply charged ions. One of these employed electrospray deposition of at least 200pmol of analyte on various preformed MALDI matrix layers, showing that under specific conditions highly charged insulin ions can be detected albeit at a low signal-to-noise ratio.[15] Herein, we report progress in achieving high and prolonged yields of multiply charged peptide and protein ions using liquid UV-MALDI matrices and an AP ion source with an ion transfer tube that can be used at variable elevated temperatures of up to 4008C.
