Abstract
The quality of sample preparation is a key factor in determining the success of analysis. While analysis of pharmaceutically important compounds in biological matrixes has driven forward the development of sample clean-up procedures in last 20 years, today's chemists face an additional challenge: sample preparation and analysis of complex biochemical samples for characterization of genotypic or phenotypic information contained in DNA and proteins. This review focuses on various sample pretreatment methods designed to meet the requirements for the analysis of biopolymers and small drugs in complex matrices. We discuss the advances in development of solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbents, on-line SPE, membrane-based sample preparation, and sample clean-up of biopolymers prior to their analysis by mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Here we report on the application of a solid-solid (SS) sample preparation protocol for the MALDI analysis of peptides and multicomponent peptide mixtures. Our results with a series of model peptides indicate that a SS MALDI sample preparation protocol is useful for the analysis of peptides in the 1-3 kDa mass range. MALDI mass spectra recorded for peptides in this size range using a SS sample preparation were of a quality comparable to spectra recorded using a conventional dried-droplet (DD) sample preparation. Our results with several model peptide mixtures indicate that one advantage of a SS sample preparation protocol for the MALDI analysis of peptides is that it can significantly reduce signal suppression effects in multicomponent mixtures. MALDI results obtained using a SS sample preparation protocol are also more reproducible than results obtained using a conventional DD sample preparation protocol.

Abstract
A recently developed concentration and purification method (Gevaert, K., Demol, H., Puype, M., Broekaert, D., De Boeck, S., Houthaeve, T., Vandekerckhove, J., 1997. Electrophoresis 18, 2950-2960) for the analysis of diluted peptide samples by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) is compared with conventional MALDI sample preparation methods. In the procedure developed, reverse-phase chromatographic beads are added to diluted peptide solutions and act as a peptide-trapping device. Peptides concentrated on the added beads are subsequently harvested, transferred to the MALDI-target disc and efficiently on target desorbed from the beads in a very small volume of an organic-aqueous mixture containing the aromatic MALDI-matrix components. Using this procedure, we show that it is possible to use the totality of in gel protein digests without negative interference of buffers and chaotropes that may be present in the digestion mixture. This method links MALDI-MS peptide analysis more efficiently to 2-D gel electrophoresis in the concept of proteome analysis. The procedure is illustrated by the identification of a class of proteins, which translocate to the actin cytoskeleton of human platelets upon thrombin stimulation.

Abstract
In the current era of proteomics two main analytical techniques are employed for protein identification. By far the fastest and most sensitive procedure for protein identification employs biological mass spectrometry, while de novo sequence analysis by classical Edman degradation is currently diminishing. In order to achieve the highest sensitivity for both techniques, great demands need to be put on sample preparation. In this paper we review three different aspects of protein sample preparation. Firstly, we discuss the use of polyacrylamide or agarose gel systems in which, during electrophoresis, proteins present in multiple primary gel pieces are eluted and simultaneously concentrated in a small secondary gel volume, whereby the overall sensitivity of Edman sequencing can be greatly increased. In a second chapter we review automation strategies occurring in the protein field which allow the automatic handling of multiple protein spots at the same time. In this context, we describe the use of auto-sampling techniques for further mass spectrometric studies and protein digestion robots allowing the simultaneous preparation of tens of gel-separated proteins. Finally we discuss various strategies for the preparation of biological peptide samples such as protein digests for both matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation and electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of three ruthenium complexes, [Ru(L)(2)](PF(6))(2), [Ru(L)(tpyPO(3))](PF(6))(2), and [Ru(L18)(tpyPO(3))](PF(6))(2), were prepared on evaporated gold films on glass or stainless steel plates; where L = 2, 6-bis(benzimidazoyl)pyridine, tpyPO(3) = 2,6-bis(2,2':6', 2"-terpyridyl)pyridine phosphanate, and L18 = 2, 6-bis(N-octadecylbenzimidazoyl)pyridine. Structures of these SAM complexes were studied by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS). The SAMs were either prepared by direct binding of Ru-complexes to Au films by alkanethiol or by the multilayer method. In the multilayer method 1,4-thiobutylphosphate was used to form a base layer on an Au film, and the base layer was then chemically bridged to the Ru-complexes by zirconium phosphate. MALDI-TOFMS of SAM1, that had been prepared by direct binding of [Ru(L)(2)](PF(6))(2) to the Au film by an octanethiol group, showed cleavage at the S-Au linkages and elimination of the counter anion to yield a molecular ion and its dimeric ion. On the other hand, SAM2 and SAM3, which had been prepared by bridging Ru-complexes [Ru(L)(tpyPO(3))](PF(6))(2) or [Ru(L18)(tpyPO(3))](PF(6))(2) to the base layers with zirconium phosphate, showed dissociation from the base layers and elimination of the counter anion to give ions of the Ru complex molecules and their fragmentation ions. No molecular ion containing the base layer resulting from the S-Au bond cleavage was observed. Copyright 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract
The surface of a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) target can be covalently modified so that it behaves like a medium for solid-phase extraction (SPE). These modified targets are capable of binding molecules of interest, but not contaminants, from sample solutions placed on them. This allows the analyte to be cleaned up on the probe surface by simply washing the target to remove the contaminants prior to MALDI-MS analysis. A limitation of the current SPE/MALDI-MS targets is that they have a fairly low binding capacity, since the coating on these targets is based upon self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). To overcome this limitation, we have investigated new surface coatings for SPE/MALDI-MS that will have a higher binding capacity than targets modified with SAMs. Here, we describe the development of new SPE/MALDI-MS surfaces that have very high molecular weight (> 300,000) polylysine chains attached to them. Targets modified in this manner are capable of binding peptides/proteins by ion-pairing interactions and have approximately 100 times the binding capacity of the SAM-based targets. Furthermore, these polylysine targets can capture over 60% of a protein from a highly contaminated solution. Consequently, polylysine SPE/MALDI-MS targets offer a practical solution for analyzing very small volumes (< 1 microL) of peptide/protein solutions contaminated with high levels of inorganic salts, buffers, detergents, chaotropic agents, and other solubilizing agents.

Abstract
A simple reversed-phase nano-column purification and sample preparation technique is described, which markedly improves the mass spectrometric analysis of complex and contaminated peptide mixtures by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI). The method is simple, fast and utilizes only low-cost disposables. After loading the sample on the column and a subsequent washing step, the analyte molecules are eluted with 50-100 nl of matrix solution directly on to the MALDI/MS target. The washing step ensures removal of a wide range of contaminants. The small bed volume of the column allows efficient sample concentration and the elution process yields very small sample spots. This simplifies the analysis and minimizes discrimination effects due to sample heterogeneity, because the desorption/ionization laser simultaneously irradiates a large portion of the sample. Taken together, these features of the method significantly improve the sensitivity for MALDI/MS analysis of contaminated peptide samples compared with the commonly used sample preparation procedures. This is demonstrated with in-gel tryptic digests of proteins from human brain that were separated by 2D gel electrophoresis. Furthermore, it is shown that with this method 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) acts as an efficient matrix for peptide mapping. Both detection sensitivity and sequence coverage are comparable to those obtained with the currently preferred matrix alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA). The higher stability of peptide ions generated with DHB compared with CHCA is advantageous when analyzing fragile sample molecules. Therefore, the method described here is also of interest for the use of Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) or ion-trap mass analyzers.

Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry of DNA and proteins, directly deposited on the poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (Teflon) surface, is demonstrated. For DNA analysis, this technique apparently produces a more homogeneous coverage of the matrix/DNA over the sample surface. Moreover, it enhances the sensitivity and salt tolerance. As described here, this technique can also achieve an excellent mass resolution, similar to that observed using a metal probe for DNA up to 62mer. We also examined the use of Teflon as a sample support for protein analysis since Teflon has been used as a transfer membrane. Less than 25 fmol of myoglobin has been detected with this technique. In addition, effective MALDI-TOF analysis of salt-contaminated protein samples can also be accomplished by loading the protein sample onto Teflon, followed by steps of washing away salts, adding the matrix, and desorbing sample directly from Teflon.

Abstract
The influence of polymer surface-protein binding affinity on protein ion signals in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry is examined. The surfaces of poly(vinylidene fluoride) and poly(ethylene terephthalate) polymer substrates are modified by pulsed rf plasma deposition of allylamine. By varying the on/off duty cycle of the pulsed rf plasma, the polymer substrate surfaces are coated with thin films having varying densities of surface amine groups. The varying surface amine density is shown to lead to systematic changes in the surface binding affinity for the 125I-radiolabeled peptides angiotensin I and porcine insulin. Unlabeled angiotensin I and porcine insulin are then deposited on the pulsed rf plasma-modified substrates and analyzed by MALDI mass spectrometry. The experimental approach involves applying the peptide to the modified polymer surface in an aqueous phosphate-buffered saline solution and allowing the peptide solution to dry completely under ambient conditions. Subsequently, the MALDI matrix alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid in methanol and 10% trifluoroacetic acid in water are added to the peptide-coated modified polymer surfaces. The results of these studies demonstrate that, for the sample preparation method employed, increases in the surface peptide binding affinity lead to decreases in the peptide MALDI ion signal.

Abstract
A new method for the sampling and off-site analysis of hemoglobin variants by mass spectrometry is reported. This technique uses a nonporous polyurethane membrane as the collection device and transportation medium of a blood sample for analysis. The same membrane is then used as the MALDI-TOF MS sample support for mass spectrometric analysis. Minimal invasive sample collection is afforded by collecting less than 1 microL of blood using a common lancet device. MALDI-TOF MS is performed directly on the membrane, after washing off the interfering plasma components, followed by the addition of matrix. This reduces the time of analysis and prevents sample loss. Enzymatic digestion can be performed directly on the membrane, using in this case trypsin, allowing for further characterization of the sample. The method is much less invasive compared to drawing blood with a syringe. The sample may be transported to the laboratory by regular mail, and thus the method can serve remote locations. We demonstrate the procedure by characterizing the Hb Shepherds Bush hemoglobin variant, b74-(E18)Gly-->Asp.

Abstract
Samples originating from biological sources often contain a complex mixture of inorganic salts, buffers, chaotropic agents, surfactants/detergents, preservatives, and other solubilizing agents. However, the presence of these contaminants virtually ensures the failure of any subsequent analysis of the sample by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). Sample cleanup procedures, therefore, must be performed prior to MALDI-MS analysis. This paper reports a probe-surface derivatization method that greatly simplifies this sample preparation process. MALDI probes possessing self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) terminated with ionic functional groups can rapidly extract peptides/proteins via ionic interactions from < or = 1-microL volumes of sample solutions placed directly on their surface. We have found that MALDI probes modified in this manner are a practical solution for analyzing very small volumes of peptide/protein solutions contaminated with high levels of inorganic salts, buffers, detergents, chaotropic agents, and other solubilizing agents.

Abstract
Many biological samples destined for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) contain buffers. The presence of these buffers often inhibits the ability to obtain spectra. Here, the results of a study of the effects of six different buffers on spectra of three representative small proteins are reported utilizing 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid as matrix. These proteins, bovine insulin, cytochrome c, and bovine albumin have masses from approximately 5000 to 66,000 Da. Three different sample preparation techniques were investigated: aerospray, dried-drop, and acetone redeposition. Both MALDI Fourier transform and time-of-flight mass spectrometry results show that buffer tolerance of MALDI-MS samples depends upon several factors, including the relative amount of the buffer in the MALDI matrix, as well as the identity of the specific buffer. Furthermore, the rate at which buffer tolerance decreases as buffer concentration is increased varies from buffer to buffer. The current results reveal that, at very high matrix:analyte ratios, buffer tolerance of MALDI is dramatically greater than concluded in previous literature reports.

Abstract
Poor detection limits and strong salt effects are two of the main problems encountered in the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometric analysis of DNA. This work demonstrates that a probe tip with a paraffin wax film (Parafilm) surface improves the MALDI performance in DNA analysis compared to the commonly used metal surface. First, the use of Parafilm increases the detection sensitivity. It was found that the detection limit achieved with Parafilm was 5 times better than that obtained using stainless steel for a 85mer. More importantly, the Parafilm method could improve detection of larger DNA components in the presence of a large excess of a smaller DNA component or in a DNA mixture. This feature is important to analyses of PCR and sequencing products. Second, we found that the use of Parafilm increased the salt tolerance limits for the 17-, 41-, and 85mers studied in this work and that the salt effect was less sensitive to the DNA size. Third, this method offers other analytical benefits, including producing a more homogeneous coverage of matrix/DNA, adding no extra cost and time to sample preparation, and eliminating the commonly required step for cleaning the probe after analysis. In this paper, we will also present our perspectives on why the use of Parafilm can improve the MALDI-TOF performance in DNA analysis.
