An Ultra-High-Resolution Mass Spectrometer with an Intermediate-Pressure Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Source
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The demand for high-resolution, high-throughput and spatially resolved mass analysis has been a key focus in developing mass spectrometers. We have developed a novel high-performance mass spectrometer by integrating matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) source with a new planar electrostatic ion trap mass analyzer for ultrahigh-resolution MALDI source mass analysis. Performance characterization experiments show that with a transient time of 800 ms, the resolution for 392 Th can exceed 530 K by utilizing high-order harmonics, and the spectrometer can distinguish the isotopic peaks in the Met-Arg-Phe-Ala acetate salt (MRFA) M+2 peak family. Preliminary results also show an overall mass range from 133 to 9500 Th by stitching together multiple single scans with at least 6-fold mass range, and a low detection limit of 32 fg. Initial tests on analysis of edible oils demonstrate its capability to distinguish plant and animal oils based on triacylglycerols.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
