Carbon Nanotube Enhanced MALDI MS: Increasing Sensitivity Through Sample Concentration

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) is a technique used in mass spectrometry for the ionization of biomolecules. A matrix solution is mixed with the analyte molecules to be investigated, and then spotted onto a specialized MALDI plate. The solvents evaporate leaving only the re-cryst...
