Abstract
This article introduces educators and researchers to the theory, principles, instrumentation, and some applications of MALDI-MS. Reflectron time-of-flight (TOF) mass analyzers are described in detail, since TOF is the most common mass analyzer for ions produced by MALDI. Several excellent reviews give a more detailed account of MALDI-MS.

Using the Mini-Session Course Format To Train Students in the Practical Aspects of Modern Mass Spectrometry
Dale A. Rosado, Jr., Tina S. Masterson, and Douglas S. MastersonJournal of Chemical Education2011 88 (2), 178-183Using the Mini-Session Course Format To Train Students in the Practical Aspects of Modern Mass Spectrometry
Dale A. Rosado, Jr., Tina S. Masterson, and Douglas S. MastersonJournal of Chemical Education2011 88 (2), 178-183Mass spectrometry (MS) has been gaining in popularity in recent years owing in large part to the development of soft-ionization techniques such as matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) and electrospray ionization (ESI). These soft-ionization ...
