 Laser spray ionization

Laser spray ionization is an analytical technique that combines laser-induced processes with spray-based methods to generate ions for mass spectrometry and other analytical applications. This method is often employed in the analysis of complex biomolecules, pharmaceuticals, and other substances that may be difficult to ionize using traditional techniques. Here’s a brief overview of how laser spray ionization works: 1. **Sample Preparation**: The sample, often in solution, is introduced into a spraying device that generates a fine mist or aerosol.
