Matrix selection is a critical factor for success in glycomics studies using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). In this study, we evaluated and optimized a new solid ionic matrix-O-benzylhydroxylamine (BOA)/2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB)/Na-containing BOA and a small amount of sodium as the counter salt of DHB. The concentration of a mixture of BOA/DHB/Na and glycans on a MALDI target plate led to O-benzyloxy tagging of the reducing ends of the glycans. The BOA/DHB/Na matrix showed excellent aggregation performance and the ability to form a homogeneous solid salt on the MALDI target plate with a water-repellent surface. In addition, the BOA/DHB/Na matrix showed a simple peak pattern with suppressed in-source and post-source decay of the reducing ends of the glycans, as well as improved ionization efficiency of glycans. Utilizing the characteristics of the BOA/DHB/Na matrix, O-glycan analysis of porcine stomach mucin showed excellent detection sensitivity and reproducibility of the peak patterns. This BOA/DHB/Na matrix can accelerate glycomics studies using MALDI-MS and, in combination with other organic salt-type matrices that we have developed, constitutes a valuable tool for glycomics studies.
