Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization

ID: matrix-assisted-laser-desorption-ionization

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) is a soft ionization technique used in mass spectrometry (MS) to analyze biomolecules, polymers, and other complex molecules. This technique allows for the generation of ions from larger, thermally sensitive molecules without causing fragmentation, making it particularly useful for analyzing proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, and large organic compounds.
