We describe a detailed assignment strategy for B-type fragments of neutral lactooligosaccharides derived from negatively charged precursor ions in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS). The post-source decay (PSD) ions produced by the loss of 180 u were assigned to the B-type fragments. The existing analyses of a series of lactooligosaccharides, as summarized in a previous report [T. Yamagaki, et al., J. Am. Soc. Mass Spectrom., 17, 67 (2006)], assisted us in the correct assignments. A clarification of B-type fragment assignments was essential, since we considered that the generation of B-type fragments from negatively charged precursor ions was typical of MALDI PSD, as opposed to the products of electrospray ionization MS low-energy collision induced dissociation.
