This article describes the online hyphenation of thin layer chromatography with matrix free material enhanced laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (mf-MELDI-MS), the preparation of new material for MELDI and application of this newly synthesized material using TLC/MELDI-MS for the analysis of carbohydrate reference standards and plant extracts. Samples included within these analyses are standard solutions of glucose, sucrose, raffinose and a plant extract of Quercus robur, which is used for its anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and anthelminitc properties in phytomedicine. A new material for mf-MELDI-MS is prepared by immobilizing bradykinin--a peptide, on silica gel coupled to 4-(3-triethoxysilylpropylureido)azobenzene. This modification enables the absorption of laser energy sufficient for desorption and ionization of low molecular weight molecules like carbohydrates and amino acids. The newly synthesized material delivered excellent results in respect to signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio (S/N ratio: >9/1) and sensitivity (limit of detection (LOD): lower to ng/microL). Hyphenation of TLC to MELDI-MS employing the novel developed material simultaneously as chromatographic and mass spectrometric sorbent was shown for the first time for the analysis of low molecular weight molecules like mono- and oligosaccharides.
