Disposable polymeric high-density nanovial arrays for matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry: I. Microstructure development and manufacturing
In order to meet the expected enormous demand for mass spectrometry (MS)through-, put as a result of the current efforts to completely map the human proteome, this paper presents a new concept for low-cost high-throughput protein identification by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight-(MALDI-TOF)-MS peptide mapping using disposable polymeric high-density nanovial MALDI target
