Abstract
A disease diagnostic system where a sample preparation unit and/or a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MALDI-TOF MS) data generation unit may be integrated in one system or a set of a system to improve the user-friendliness of the system. The system may include a sample preparation unit with processing modules and/or a handler to move samples in an autonomous manner to enhance reproducibility of measurement data and/or user-friendliness. A different set of processing modules may be selected for a particular disease type (e.g. such as cancer) to be diagnosed. The system may be used to identify biomaterials such as bacteria, virus, and fungi from body fluids like blood, urine, and saliva and other cells.
