The formation of gas-phase ions from molecules that are present in a solid or solvent matrix that is irradiated with a pulsed laser. See also [[LDI|laser desorption/ionization]].
Formation of gas-phase ions from molecules that are present in a solid or liquid matrix that is irradiated with a pulsed laser.  
Related term:  [[laser desorption/ionization]].
 
Note 1:  MALDI using a liquid plus particulate matrix has been called [[surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization]] ([[SALDI]]).
 
Note 2: MALDI using a biochemical affinity target has been called [[surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization]] ([[SELDI]]).
 
Note 3:  Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization in which the matrix is covalently linked to the target surface has been called [[surface-enhanced neat desorption]] ([[SEND]]).
