Surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization (SALDI), a matrixfree<br />

method for laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry, 15<br />

has overcome the limitations of matrix-assisted laser desorption/<br />

ionization (MALDI). The lower matrix interference in the low mass<br />

spectrum (molecular mass < 500 Da) makes SALDI more<br />

appropriate for quantifying small molecules. There are four major<br />

types of SALDI substrates: silicon (DIOS), 16,17 sol-gels, 18 carbonbased<br />

substrates, and metal particle-based substrates. 19-22 Carbonbased<br />

SALDI, which utilizes graphite with sizes in the micrometer<br />

range, was first used as a desorption/ionization substrate for<br />

detection of peptides and proteins in 1995. 20 CNTs have also been<br />

used as SALDI substrates to analyze small peptides (
