  • Probe for mass spectrometry
    Patent number: 7057165
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a probe for the analysis of one or more analytes, particularly proteins or compounds capable of binding or otherwise interacting therewith, by laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry, more particularly MALDI MS. It also relates to a protein microarray, a method of producing a protein microarray and a method of analyzing a protein microarray. The probe comprises a support having an electroconductive target surface thereon characterized in that the target surface comprises a micro array having a plurality of discrete target areas presenting one or more analyte capture moieties. Each discrete target area has an area of less than 1000 ?m2, more preferably still less than 500 ?m2, and more preferably still less than 100 ?m2.
    Type: Grant

  • Probe for mass spectrometry
    Publication number: 20030173513
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a probe for the analysis of one or more analytes, particularly proteins or compounds capable of binding or otherwise interacting therewith, by laser desorption/ionisation mass spectrometry, more particularly MALDI MS. It also relates to a protein microarray, a method of producing a protein microarray and a method of analysing a protein microarray. The probe comprises a support having an electroconductive target surface thereon characterized in that the target surface comprises a micro array having a plurality of discrete target areas presenting one or more analyte capture moieties. Each discrete target area has an area of less than 1000 &mgr;m2, more preferably still less than 500 &mgr;m2, and more preferably still less than 100 &mgr;m2.
