Abstract: Disclosed are systems are methods for identifying the composition of single aerosol particles, particularly that of bioaerosol particles, without pre-treatment using complex organic MALDI matrices. A continuous timing laser may be used to index aerosol particles, measure particle properties, and trigger a pulse ionization laser. Ionized fragments and optionally photons associated with each particle producing by the ionization laser may be analyzed using one or more detectors including a TOF-MS detector and an optical detector. The laser pulse may comprise a simultaneous IR and UV laser pulse when fragments comprise predominantly of UV chromophores. Unique spectral data associated with each indexed particle from each detector may be compiled using data fusion to generate compiled spectral data. Machine learning methods may be used to improve the prediction of composition over time.
