The invention generally relates to systems and methods for mass spectrometry analysis of microorganisms in samples.

Mass spectrometry analysis of microorganisms in samples

The invention generally relates to methods for analyzing a metabolite level in a sample. In certain embodiments, methods of the invention may involve obtaining a sample, analyzing the sample using a mass spectrometry technique to determine a level of at least one metabolite in the sample, and correlating the metabolite level with an originating source of the sample, thereby analyzing the sample.

Methods for determining a tumor margin in a tissue using a desorption electrospray ionization (desi) technique

The invention generally relates to methods for analyzing an analyte in a sample that involve providing a capture module, the module configured to capture an analyte from a sample in an ambient environment and generate ions of the analyte, wherein the capture module comprises a cartridge and a porous substrate within the cartridge that is connected to a voltage source; and generating ions of the analyte from the capture module that are analyzed in a mass analyzer operably coupled to the capture module, thereby analyzing the analyte in the sample.
