RATIONALE: There is increasing interest in methods of direct analysis mass spectrometry that bypass complex sample preparation steps.
METHODS: One of the most interesting new ionisation methods is rapid evaporative ionisation mass spectrometry (REIMS) in wh...
Analysis of bacterial composition using rapid evaporative ionisation mass spectrometry (REIMS) allows for the detection of metabolites that may be considered specific to particular taxons. This database of 3274 isolates covering gram positive and negative bacteria across 5 phyla, 12 classes, 24 o...
Laser ablation rapid evaporative ionisation mass spectrometry (LA-REIMS) was used to analyse human basal cell carcinoma (BCC) samples. 14 samples are presented here, along with H&E-stained histological images.
