Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) was introduced 35 years ago and has advanced from a general method for producing intact ions from large biomolecules to wide use in applications ranging from bacteria identification to tissue imaging. MALDI was enabled by the development of high energy pulsed lasers that create ions from solid samples for analysis by mass spectrometry. The original lasers used for MALDI were ultraviolet fixed-wavelength nitrogen and Nd:YAG lasers, and a number of additional laser sources have been subsequently introduced with wavelengths ranging from the infrared to the ultraviolet and pulse widths from nanosecond to femtosecond. Wavelength tunable sources have been employed both in the IR and UV, and repetition rates have increased from tens of Hz to tens of kHz as MALDI has moved into mass spectrometry imaging. Dual-pulse configurations have been implemented with two lasers directed at the target or with a second laser creating ions in the plume of desorbed material. This review provides a brief history of the use of lasers for ionization in mass spectrometry and describes the various types of lasers and configurations used for MALDI.

Abstract
Nanomaterials are frequently used in laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) as DI enhancers, providing excellent figures of merit for the analysis of low molecular weight organic molecules. In recent years, literature on this topic has benefited from several studies assessing the fundamental aspects of the ion desorption efficiency and the internal energy transfer, in the case of model analytes. Several different parameters have been investigated, including the intrinsic chemical and physical properties of the nanophase (chemical composition, thermal conductivity, photo-absorption efficiency, specific heat capacity, phase transition point, explosion threshold, etc.), along with morphological parameters such as the nanophase size, shape, and interparticle distance. Other aspects, such as the composition, roughness and defects of the substrate supporting the LDI-active nanophases, the nanophase binding affinity towards the target analyte, the role of water molecules, have been taken into account as well. Readers interested in nanoparticle based LDI-MS sub-techniques (SALDI-, SELDI-, NALDI- MS) will find here a concise overview of the recent findings in the specialized field of fundamental and mechanistic studies, shading light on the desorption ionization phenomena responsible of the outperforming MS data offered by these techniques.

Abstract
Graphene, graphene oxide (GO), and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) have been actively explored as matrix for laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) in place of conventional organic matrix. Recently, the GO/MWCNT double layer films on a solid substrate showed excellent applicability in small molecule analysis, enzyme activity assay and tissue imaging. In the present study, LDI processes of small molecules on multilayers of alternating MWCNT and GO hybrid films were thoroughly investigated. We found that the LDI efficiency of small molecules was affected by thickness, assembly sequence and surface roughness of the hybrid films that were controlled by varying the number of layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly cycles. The study would provide useful basic information to develop an efficient LDI-MS platform based on carbon nanomaterials.

Abstract
Gold nanorods were fixed on an ITO plate and used for the spectroscopic sensing and Surface-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (SALDI-MS) of oligopeptides (angiotensin I). The longitudinal surface plasmon bands of the gold nanorods responded to the 10(-10) M angiotensin solution that was cast on the ITO plate. The SALDI-MS measurements had an ultra-high sensitivity to the angiotensin on the ITO plate. A very small surface density (5 × 10(-19) mol cm(-2)) of angiotensin could be detected at m/z = 1297 with a good signal/noise ratio (S/N = 11). The ITO plate, which was modified with gold nanorods, was found to be effective in collecting angiotensin molecules adjacent to the gold nanorods, and the SALDI processes that were induced by the photoabsorption of the gold nanorods efficiently contributed to the desorption and ionization of the angiotensin.

Abstract
Au nanoporous films (NPFs) with different surface modification and morphology were fabricated and utilized as substrates for the analysis of a series of compounds, including amino acids, drug, cyclodextrins, peptides, and polyethylene glycols, using surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SALDI-TOF MS). It was found that the size and interconnection state of the NPF ligament as well as the surface modification are key parameters that affect the laser desorption/ionization performance. Compared with 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, pristine NPF, and aminobenzenethiol or 3-mercaptopropanoic acid modified Au NPFs, cysteine modified Au NPF generated intense and background-suppressing mass spectra. Regarding the effect of Au NPF morphology, the Au NPF with nanopores in the range of 10-30 nm, ligament size of 5 nm, and electrochemistry surface area of 26.1 m(2)/g exhibited the highest performance as a substrate. This high-performance NPFs can be easily fabricated by capping agent replacement induced self-organization of ultrathin nanowires, followed by self-assembling of a monolayer (SAM) of cysteine. The good thermal/electroconductivity and uniformity of Au NPFs avoided the fragmentation of analytes, eliminated the intrinsic matrix ions interference, and provided good reproducibility (RSD ≤ 10%). Additionally, the fabricated NPFs can be easy divided into microarrays (a ~4 × 4 array from a 1 cm × 1 cm NPF). This work provides a simple and cost-effective route for acquiring an Au nanostructure as a SALDI substrate, which offers a new technique for high-speed analysis of low-molecular weight compounds.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have been widely used to assist laser desorption ionization of biomolecules for mass spectrometry analysis. Compared with classical matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization, strategies based on nanomaterial-assisted ionization generate a clean background, which is of great benefit for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of small biomolecules, such as therapeutic and diagnostic molecules. As label-free platforms, they have successfully been used for high-throughput enzyme activity/inhibition monitoring and also for tissue imaging to map in situ the distribution of peptides, metabolites and drugs. In addition to widely used porous silicon nanomaterials, gold nanoparticles can be easily chemically modified by thiol-containing compounds, opening novel interesting perspectives. Such functionalized nanoparticles have been used both as probes to extract target molecules and as matrices to assist laser desorption ionization for developing new enzyme immunoassays or for studying DNA hybridization. More recently, semiconductor nanomaterials or quantum dots acting as photosensitive centers to induce in-source redox reactions for proteomics and to investigate biomolecule oxidation for metabolomics have been shown to offer new analytical strategies.

Abstract
A "strategy" for analyte capture/ionization based on chemical derivatization of gold nanorods and infrared laser desorption ionization (IR-LDI) is described. This is the first example of laser desorption/ionization of biomolecules using gold nanorods irradiated with an IR laser. LDI is performed at wavelengths (1064 nm) that overlap with the longitudinal surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) mode of gold nanorods. The absorbed energy from the laser facilitates desorption and ionization of the analyte. The wavelength of the LSPR band can be tuned by controlling the aspect ratio (length-to-diameter) of the nanorod. For example, the SPR band for Au nanorods having an aspect ratio of 5:1 is centered at approximately 840 nm, and this band overlaps with the 1064 nm output of a Nd:YAG laser. We show that a variety of biomolecules can be efficiently desorbed and ionized by 1064 nm irradiation of nanorods. We also show that analyte capture can be controlled by surface chemistry of the nanorods. The results of these studies are important for designing nanomaterial-based capture assays for mass spectrometry and interfacing nanomaterials with imaging/spatial profiling mass spectrometry experiments.

Abstract
Citrate-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) serve as matrices for the determination of biomolecules in a high-salt solution through matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). In the case of using 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHB) as a matrix, the signal intensities of neutral steroids were severely suppressed in a high-salt solution. A high concentration of NaCl caused the formation of the sodium adduct ions during the desorption/ionization process, resulting in a decrease of the signal intensities of the protonated ions. In comparison, by applying AuNP-assisted LDI-TOF-MS, the signal intensities of neutral steroids remained almost constant when the concentration of NaCl was increased to 500 mM. Because the use of citrate-capped AuNPs as matrices primarily offers alkali metal ion adducts, AuNP matrices have a higher tolerance to high NaCl concentrations relative to that of 2,5-DHB matrices. The relevant phenomena are also discovered in the case of analysis of neutral carbohydrate, monosialoganglioside, indolamine, and angiotensin I. The quantification of small molecules in a high-salt solution has been accomplished by AuNP-assisted LDI-TOF-MS coupled to a unique sample preparation, in which samples are deposited onto the sample plate before AuNPs. The present method has been further applied to the determination of urea, creatinine, uric acid, and glucose in a urine sample.

Abstract
Recent developments have greatly improved the sensitivity of optical sensors based on metal nanoparticle arrays and single nanoparticles. We introduce the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensor and describe how its exquisite sensitivity to size, shape and environment can be harnessed to detect molecular binding events and changes in molecular conformation. We then describe recent progress in three areas representing the most significant challenges: pushing sensitivity towards the single-molecule detection limit, combining LSPR with complementary molecular identification techniques such as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and practical development of sensors and instrumentation for routine use and high-throughput detection. This review highlights several exceptionally promising research directions and discusses how diverse applications of plasmonic nanoparticles can be integrated in the near future.

Abstract
Visible matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (VIS-MALDI) was performed using 2-amino-3-nitrophenol as matrix. The matrix is of near-neutral pH, and has an optical absorption band in the near-UV and visible region. A frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser operated at 532 nm wavelength was used for matrix excitation and comparisons were made with a frequency-tripled Nd:YAG laser (355 nm). Visible and ultraviolet (UV)-MALDI produce similar mass spectra for peptides, polymers, and small proteins with comparable sensitivities. Due to the smaller optical absorption coefficient of the matrix at 532 nm wavelength, the optical penetration depth is larger, and the sample consumption per laser shot in VIS-MALDI is higher than that of UV-MALDI. Nevertheless, VIS-MALDI using 2-amino-3-nitrophenol as matrix may offer a complementary technique to the conventional UV-MALDI method in applications where deeper laser penetration is required.
