1. PROJECT
------------
Title: Development of a Novel MALDI Mass Spectrometer and Technology for the Generation of Multiply Charged Ions at High Sensitivity
Dates: 01 February 2014/31 January 2017
Funding organisation: EPSRC
Grant no.: EP/L006227/1

2. DATASET
------------
Title: Dataset supporting the project of developing and optimising liquid AP-MALDI sample preparation
Description:  The dataset contains 9 sets of mass spectrometry data acquired on an in-house developed AP-MALDI ion source attached to a commercial Synapt G2-Si mass spectrometer. Other data sets include 3 surface tension measurements acquired on a Kruess K-12 tensiometer, and 3 processed laser threshold measurements data sets.

5. METHOD and PROCESSING
--------------------------
The dataset contains data that was generated using a commercial Synapt-G2 Si (Waters) mass spectrometer equipped with in-house developed AP-MALDI ion source.

Masslynx software (ver. 4.1; Waters) was used to collect data. All data files contain a _HEADER file with relevant instrument settings and employed methods recorded.

The dataset contains data that was obtained using a commercial tensiometer Kruess K-12.

The manuscript in preparation at the time of data deposition is entitled "The composition of liquid AP-MALDI MS matrices and its effect on ionization" by P.Ryumin and R.Cramer, and contains the methods section where the exact procedures of data acquisition are described.
