MALDI TOF MS
MALDI-TOF MS (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry) is a powerful technique used for analyzing biomolecules, such as proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids. It employs a laser to ionize samples embedded in a matrix, allowing for rapid and sensitive detection. The time-of-flight analysis provides information on the mass-to-charge ratio of ions, facilitating precise molecular weight determination and structural analysis. This technique is widely used in proteomics, genomics, and microbiology for its high sensitivity and speed.
