Quantitative analysis with mass spectrometry (MS) is important but challenging. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) coupled with time-of-flight (TOF) MS offers superior sensitivity, resolution and speed, but such techniques have numerous disadvantages that hinder quantitative analyses. This review summarizes essential obstacles to analyte quantification with MALDI-TOF MS, including the complex ionization mechanism of MALDI, sensitive characteristics of the applied electric fields and the mass-dependent detection efficiency of ion detectors. General quantitative ionization and desorption interpretations of ion production are described. Important instrument parameters and available methods of MALDI-TOF MS used for quantitative analysis are also reviewed. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Quantitative mass spectrometry’.

Quantitative analysis of peptides using internal standards was carried out with the use of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) on a time-of-flight mass spectrometer in a ferulic acid matrix. Spectra were collected and averaged over several areas of the sample surface at constant laser energy, and a defocused beam was used to improve reproducibility. A calibration curve was plotted, showing a correlation coefficient of 0.992 and a relative standard deviation of 1.83%. The accuracy and precision of this technique were sensitive to the crystal structure of the matrix and saturation effects of the instrument's detector.
