Solid phase microextraction (SPME) with matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) introduction was coupled to mass spectrometry and ion mobility spectrometry. Nicotine and myoglobin in matrix 2,5-dihydroxybenzonic acid (DHB), enkephalin and substance P in alpha-cyano-4-hydroxy cinnaminic acid were investigated as the target compounds. The tip of an optical fiber was silanized for extraction of the analytes of interest from solution. The optical fiber thus served as the sample extraction surface, the support for the sample plus matrix, and the optical pipe to transfer the laser energy from the laser to the sample. The MALDI worked under atmospheric pressure, and both an ion mobility spectrometer and a quadrupole/time-of-flight mass spectrometer were used for the detection of the SPME/MALDI signal. The spectra obtained demonstrate the feasibility of the SPME with MALDI introduction to mass spectrometry instrumentation.
