  • Methods and Devices for Concentration and Purification of Analytes for Chemical Analysis Including Matrix-Assisted Laser Desportion/Ionization (MALDI) Mass Spectrometry (MS)
    Publication number: 20100133098
    Abstract: Analytical methods and devices are disclosed for separating low abundance analytes by electrophoretically driving the analytes through a sieving matrix to first remove high molecular weight species. Subsequently the remaining low abundance analytes are electrophoretically focused onto a capture membrane where the analytes become bound within a small capture site. After this step the capture membrane may be allowed to dry and then attached to a conductive MALDI sample plate.
