Surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (SALDI-MS) is a soft laser desorption technique used for analyzing biomolecules, polymers and small organic molecules by mass spectrometry.[1][2] In its first embodiment, it used graphite matrix.[1] At present, laser desorption/ionization methods using other inorganic matrices, such as nanomaterials, are often regarded as SALDI variants. As an example, Titania nanotube arrays (NTA) as a substrate can be used to detect small molecules.[3] SALDI is used to detect proteins and protein-protein complexes.[4] A related method named "ambient SALDI" - which is a combination of conventional SALDI with ambient mass spectrometry incorporating the DART ion source - has also been demonstrated.[5] SALDI is considered one of the most important techiques in MS and has many applications.[6]

History[edit]

Schematic diagram of SALDI : the blue particles represent the surface particles , the red particles represent the analyte molecules and the red particles with blue outline represent the charged analyte .

The SALDI technique was invented by the Japanese Engineer Koichi Tanaka in the year 1988, he modified another older technique named MALDI, where Ionization of the samples relied on being in a matrix of another material which was responsible for energy concentration to the sample, but it had the disadvantage that the hosting material also experienced ionization which gave rise to the problem of interfering with the intended sample. The SALDI technique was successful in solving this problem.As in contrast to traditional matrix-assisted techniques, the materials used for SALDI-MS are not ionized, which expands the usefulness of this technique to small-molecule analyse.[2]

Tanaka used ultra-fine cobalt powders with an average diameter of about 300 Å. Cobalt powder was mixed with the sample in glycerol solution. With a large surface area, the cobalt powders were able to conduct heat to large numbers of surrounding glycerol liquid and analyte molecules,as it has high photo-absorption and low heat capacity, which indeed resulted in a thermal desorption/ionization mechanism.[7]

Then Sunner and chen used graphite particles of 2-150 m in size as a substrate and solutions of analytes in glycerol.They were able to analyze low molecular weight analytes by soft ionization technique.[1] then they developped an approach called SALDI-MS, where a thin layer of activated carbon particles fixed on aluminium support in which the surface and the surface structure were critical in desorption and ionisation.[8] Since then research was focusing on introducing novel nanomaterials as substrates to enhance the sensitivity, broad the mass range and expanding the categories of samples that can be analyzed using this technique.[9]

SALDI development[edit]

SALDI was introduced as a promising method which has potential applications in systems biology; particularly metabolomics, and introduction of nanomaterials as SALDI substrates attracted researchers in analytical chemistry. Such materials include carbon nanotubes CNTs, metallic nanoparticles like Ag, Pt, Au, and nanostructured surfaces. This development of substrates allowed for the development of SALDI.

The development of DIOS-MS in particular, and subsequently NIMS and NALDI, has attracted the attention of analytical scientists. These methods have since become a benchmark for semiconductor-based SALDI research.[9][6]

Basic principles of SALDI[edit]

The main principle of SALDI relies on a medium that absorbs laser and then transfers the energy to the target sample. In this class of techniques, where the bulk of energy goes to the substrate instead of the sample molecules is named as soft ionization techniques. The development of SALDI started as a modification of a former technique named MALDI. The former technique suffered from the ionization interference made by the matrix molecules of MALDI. The main idea is that SALDI substituted the organic matrix of MALDI by an active surface of specific substrates usually made of inorganic components.[9]

SALDI is a three stage process: The first stage is mainly concerned with mixing the samples with the substrate. In the second stage, the laser pulses are applied to the mix where the substrate absorbs the laser energy and transfer it to the sample molecules. In the final stage, desorption and ionization occur, and the potential difference accelerates produced ions to the mass analyzer.

Different types of Substrates employed in SALDI analysis[edit]

The forms of Carbon Nanotubes: Multiple or Single Wall Carbon Nanotube

There are three classes of nanomaterials that are utilized in SALDI-MS. Namely, the carbon-based, semiconductor-based and metallic-based.

Carbon nanotubes and carbon-based SALDI[edit]

The term carbon nanotube (CNT) refers to a cylinder with a rolled graphene sheet. CNT can be single walled (SWNT) or multi-walled (MWNT). SWNTs are perfect simulators of an ideal blackbody in the electromagnetic radiation ranging from the UV to far infrared. They exhibit better performance than former materials like super black, (a chemically etched nickel-phosphorus alloy).[10] This makes the CNT's a desired material for laser mass spectrometry application.[11] That's why they attracted the researchers since discovery in the year 1991.[12]

Graphene as a surface material[edit]
Graphene structure

Graphene is a type of popular carbon nanomaterial discovered in 2004. It has a large surface area that could effectively attach the analyte molecules. On the other hand, the efficiency of desorption/ionization for analytes on a layer of graphene can be enhanced for its simple monolayer structure and unique electronic properties. Polar compounds including amino acids, polyamines, anticancer drugs, and nucleosides can be successfully analyzed. In addition, nonpolar molecules can be analyzed with high resolution and sensitivity due to the hydrophobic nature of graphene itself. Compared with a conventional matrix, graphene exhibited a high desorption/ionization efficiency for nonpolar compounds. The graphene substrate functions as a substrate to trap analytes, and it transfers energy to the analytes upon laser irradiation, which allows for the analytes to be readily desorbed/ionized and the interference of matrix to be eliminated. It has been demonstrated that the use of graphene as a substrate material avoids the fragmentation of analytes and provides good reproducibility and a high salt tolerance[9]

Nanostructured semiconductor-based SALDI[edit]

Porous silicon as a substrate material[edit]

Porous silicon acted as an effective substrate for SALDI, its porous structure helped in trapping the analytes and its unique optical activity transfrered effectively the laser energy to the adsorbate.it was effective for analyzing wide range of biological small molecules. recently, anew technique named nanostructure-initiator mass spectrometry(NIMS) was introduced as a result of using explosive vaporization for desorption.[6]

Instrumentation[edit]

SALDI as an improvement of MALDI used the very similar instrument to that of MALDI. It employs a laser source for pulsed laser generation which is responsible for excitation of the sample mixture, which consists of the analyte and substrate materials.On the other side of the instrument the mass analyzer which separate the analytes according to their m/z value and the detector are located.Analytes are accelerated to the analyzer by applying potential difference.[9]

Combination with GC[edit]

Analytes were introduced from Gas Chromatography instrument which was coupled to the SALDI-MS instead of analytes being adsorbed on a solid substrate and directly ionized by means of a pulsed laser. Analytes were introduced from the GC capillarycolumn to the the substrate surface.Coupling to GAS chromatography increased the efficiency of ionization and sensitivity. This was introduced for the first time in 2009 by Sunner et al.[13]

Ambient SALDI[edit]

Recently, researchers were able to analyze in ambient conditions as a result of the involvment of direct analysis in real time (DART) ion source into the SALDI-MS system.[14]

Applications[edit]

Forensic applications[edit]

Forensic investigation owes DIOS the favor of producing evidence in contraceptive polymers in an alleged sexual assault case that could've never been made by any other analytical technique.[15][16] Moreover, Pihlainen K. et al. reported that the technique showed great promise in the forensic analysis of illicit drugs.[17][18] They also reported that the interference was diminished.

In addition, another report stated that DIOS identified 11 impurities.[19] Profiling the impurities was expected to lead to their origin. Eight years later, the authors published another report and mentioned that the technique identified the catecholamines in a human peripheral blood lymphocyte extract.[20] Also the quantitation of salicylate in human serum was proved using the DIOS-MS in negative ion mode.[21]

Biomedical applications[edit]

Thomas et al. were able to achieve monitoring and direct analysis of enzyme-catalyzed reaction by DIOS-MS . They worked on a group of enzyme systems. One famous result was the reaction of acetylcholine esterase (AChE) with acetylcholine producing choline.This approach gained more fame when showed the ability to detect the selectivity of different enzyme inhibitors. The study started with hyperzine A, tacrine, and 2,6-dimethoxyphenyl-N-butylcarbamate, which are all inhibitors of AChE. The ki value of each of the inhibitors was found to be an important factor of their inhibition potentials.DIOS_MS has another advantage over MALDI, it can detect additional information in the low-mass region of mass spectrum as it can detect peptide peaks, and also identify post-translation modifications. These capabilities have great applications in protein identification with more confidence.[6]

Clinical diagnosis[edit]

The DIOS-MS technique was employed as a novel technique for patient diagnosis by examining the patients' plasma. The study focused on patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (POS) by comparing the DIOS metabolic profiles generated with those of healthy subjects .The information obtained can be used to estimate disease progression and the effect of medical treatment.[6]

Pharmaceutical applications[edit]

An interesting area for researchers is to mobilize or immobilize some target proteins. It's a requirement in drug development mechanisms as some proteins' binding partners are not discovered yet. This was achieved by Zou et al. They used the DIOS technique. They employed a Psi surface as a probe to immobilize a targeted protein (BSA). 

Next, the test drugs with the trial binding partners were introduced and incubated the probe. The immobilized proteins were able to capture the drug molecules that had a high affinity for the targeted protein. The ones with low affinity were washed off.  The next step was to identify the captured drug molecules, and this was done by the SALDI analysis. The process offers great selectivity in testing drug candidates; it filters out the weak candidates and picks the most effective ones. It's not limited to proteins, it can work with macro biological molecules like DNA and RNA.[6]

Another famous test was done with hemoglobin. In this test, a hemoglobin-modified surface was employed. The target was to identify the non-covalent binding between hemoglobin and relevant chemicals. Amongst 13 different chemicals that included antimicrobials, insecticides, fungicides and herbicides, only triphenyltin chloride succeeded in binding hemoglobin strongly. This was a practical warning of the high toxicity of this material relative to other tested compounds.

Biochemical applications[edit]

Metabolic profiling[edit]

With increasing work and research in metabolomics, new techniques were needed for introducing novel study approaches. SALDI-MS and the family of direct analysis mass spectrometry (DAMS) were introduced as novel approaches in metabolomics. Goodacre et al. employed the DIOS-MS technique to study the yeast. They portrayed the yeast metabolites secreted by yeast showing that the metabolic "footprinting" of yeast is achievable. In a prior research work, the same group employed direct infusion mass spectrometry (DIMS) with electrospray ionization. They studied the metabolic profiles of a large number of wild types and mutants; and mathematical techniques were employed for data analysis to determine potential biomarkers.[6]

Imaging mass spectrometry (IMS)[edit]

Imaging of biological objects was always a target for researchers. SALDI was employed for imaging of a mouse liver tissue, and a human cervical cancer cells. This was the first achieved SALDIIMS. As in SALDI, laser has to penetrate through the tissue and be absorbed by the layer underneath, thickness would be a limiting factor, and researchers were able to overcome this factor by introducing an organic matrix onto the tissue section. This was named matrix enhanced surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (ME-SALDI-MS) to account for the different processes employed in the technique and refer to the modification that enhanced the technique. Another achievement was the imaging of mouse heart and brain tissue.

More work was done for imaging of drug molecule distribution in brain tissue, then the cholesterol distribution in brain tissue and the sucrose distribution in Gerbera jamesonii flower stem. More work was done on biofluids for direct analysis of drug molecules and their metabolites.[6]
