T1 - Vacuum ultraviolet light as a new Tandem MS method N2 - Tandem MS techniques are widely used for both, structure and sequence elucidation of biopolymers. Thereby, fragmentation activation is realized by various methods, for example with lasers or collisions with neutral gases. In this study, we present a new Tandem MS system using a commercially available vacuum ultraviolet lamp. On the one hand, this approach provides efficient fragmentation in both ionization modes, positive as well as negative. On the other hand, it enables an additional previously not achieved post ionization of the fragments. While the first results in atypical fragment patterns and, thus provides orthogonal information, the second is crucial especially to identify low abundant ions.
