1 Introduction MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry is a valuable tool for characterizing synthetic polymers with regard to their molecular masses, structures, and end groups [1-3]. However, quantitative analysis with this technique remains a difficult task due to the signal dependence on various instrumental and chemical parameters [4-6]. For instance, instrumental parameters such as detector voltage and delay time can significantly impact mass signal intensities [7, 8].
