Software developed in house in combination with a recently developed method of MALDI-TOF MS enable not only the elucidation of individual chain structures of poly(lactide-co-glycolide), a polymer used extensively in the medical sector, but a full characterization of this copolymer including even its chemical composition and topology (random, gradient, block (see figure), or alternating).
