  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006455",
  "term": "Laser ablation electrospray ionization mass spectrometry",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A mass spectrometry technique that combines laser ablation for sample desorption with electrospray ionization for gas-phase ion formation. A laser beam ablates material from a solid surface, and the resulting plume is then intersected by an electrospray plume, leading to ionization of the ablated species. This method is often applied for direct analysis of surfaces without extensive sample preparation.",
