Various matrix materials were used for laser desorption of biological molecules, which include proteins and oligonucleotides. Both matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption with post-ionization (MALPI) have been tried. Detection sensitivity of a few hundred femtomoles has been achieved by MALDI for oligomers and proteins. Both positive and negative ions were observed with comparative sizes of signals. No significant fragmentation was observed.
