Abstrakt: Synthetic polymers with desirable film-forming characteristics have been chemically modified to incorporate, covalently, UV energy-absorbing molecules (EAM) of a type used for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The polymer-bound EAM were activated to covalently bind macromolecules through the carboxyl group of the bound EAM. The EAM was shown to act as a photolabile macromolecular tether. Biomolecules covalently bound to surface arrays of EAM-polymer were uncoupled and desorbed/ionized with single pulses of laser irradiation.
