Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure include methods for analyzing an analyte composition by mass spectrometry employing a macroporous metal organic polymer matrix. In practicing methods according to certain embodiments an analyte composition is applied to a macroporous metal organic polymer matrix, a voltage is applied to the macroporous metal organic polymer matrix sufficient to produce and expel analyte ions from the macroporous metal organic polymer matrix and the analyte ions are analyzed by mass spectrometry. In other embodiments, a composition having biological macromolecules is applied onto a surface-modified macroporous metal organic polymer matrix and analytes produced by reaction (e.g., enzymatic cleavage of the biological macromolecules) at or near the surface of the macroporous metal organic polymer matrix are measured by mass spectrometry. Mass spectrometry emitters made from the subject macroporous metal organic polymer matrix, mass spectrometry systems employing macroporous metal organic polymer matrices of interest and kits suitable for practicing the subject methods are also described.
