Surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization (SALDI) is a technique used in mass spectrometry for the analysis of biomolecules and other compounds. It is a variation of the widely known laser desorption/ionization methods, such as matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI), but utilizes a solid surface rather than a matrix.
