The invention provides an analysis plate () including at least one analysis zone for receiving a sample to be analyzed by mass spectrometry using the MALDI-TOF technique, the plate being of the type having at least one test face () with at least one analysis zone defined thereon and of the type in which the plate includes a support () that is plane, the plate being characterized in that the support () comprises at least one sheet () of paper material comprising cellulose fibers, and in that the analysis plate () includes at least one ply () of metal material.

MALDI-TOF analysis plate with paper support and use thereof

An extraction system includes a support bar including a sample well, a reagent well, at least one washing well, and at least one protection and retention housing; a pipetting element removably mounted on the support bar and extending at least partially into the at least one protection and retention housing; and a filtering and transfer device configured to capture and accumulate microorganisms contained in the sample and transfer the captured and accumulated microorganisms, the filtering and transfer device being removably mounted on the support bar and extending at least partially into the at least one protection and retention housing. The filtering and transfer device includes a hollow body having an elongated shape and including a proximal end portion and a distal end portion; and a filtering element fixed to the distal end portion of the hollow body.
