There are other hybrid ionization methods which combine resonant or non-resonant laser desorption with post electrospray ionization. One example is electrospray laser desorption ionization (ELDI), which uses an ultraviolet laser to form ions by irradiating the sample directly, then interacting with the electrospray plume without using any ...
The AP-MALDI ion source is easily coupled to an ion trap mass spectrometer [34] or any other MS system equipped with electrospray ionization (ESI) or nanoESI source. MALDI with ionization at reduced pressure is known to produce mainly singly-charged ions (see "Ionization mechanism" below).
Extractive electrospray ionization is a spray-type, ambient ionization method that uses two merged sprays, one of which is generated by electrospray. [ 49 ] Laser-based electrospray-based ambient ionization is a two-step process in which a pulsed laser is used to desorb or ablate material from a sample and the plume of material interacts with ...
The two primary methods for ionization of proteins are electrospray ionization (ESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI). In electrospray, the ions are created from proteins in solution, and it allows fragile molecules to be ionized intact, sometimes preserving non-covalent interactions.
The DART ionization process can produce positive or negative ions depending on the potential applied to the exit electrode. This ionization can occur for species desorbed directly from surfaces such as bank notes, tablets, bodily fluids (blood, saliva and urine), polymers, glass, plant leaves, fruits & vegetables, clothing, and living organisms.
Two techniques often used with liquid and solid biological samples include electrospray ionization (invented by John Fenn [11]) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI, initially developed as a similar technique "Soft Laser Desorption (SLD)" by K. Tanaka [12] for which a Nobel Prize was awarded and as MALDI by M. Karas and F ...
Inlet ionization is similar to electrospray ionization in that a reverse phase solvent system is used and the ions produced are highly charged, however a voltage or a laser is not always needed. [3] It is a highly sensitive process for small and large molecules like peptides , proteins [ 3 ] and lipids [ 4 ] that can be coupled to a liquid ...
In the TQMS, several ionization methods can be employed. Some of these include electrospray ionization, chemical ionization, electron ionization, atmospheric pressure chemical ionization, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization, all of which produce a continuous supply of ions.
