Sialylglycoconjugates play biologically important roles in nature. The labile nature of the sialic acid residue in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) analysis demands additional modification processes of the carboxylate group to avoid in-source or post-source decay. This paper reports a versatile and high-sensitivity matrix system, aniline derivative/2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid/alkali metal salt, for MALDI-MS analysis of sialyloligosaccharides and sialylglycoconjugates without any modifications. A simple adduct ion signal was obtained from the femtomole range of the analytes tested with the new matrix system by MALDI-MS in reflectron mode. Besides, the laser power-dependent in-source decay and post-source decay pattern of the sialylated analytes with this matrix system allows a pseudo MS3 strategy for in-depth sequencing studies of the analytes.
