Abstract

See full text

According to certain embodiments, a method of mass spectrometry may generally comprise subjecting a sample comprising at least one indicator to laser ablation electrospray ionization mass spectrometry; determining a relative intensity of the indicator; and comparing the relative intensity of the indicator to a standard indicator intensity. Subjecting a sample to laser ablation electrospray ionization mass spectrometry may comprise ablating the sample with an infrared laser under ambient conditions to form an ablation plume; intercepting the ablation plume by an electrospray plume; and detecting the indicator by mass spectrometry. The method of mass spectrometry may comprise classifying the sample as belonging to or not belonging to the standard indicator intensity. A sample not belonging to the standard indicator intensity may indicate that the sample is predicted to comprise a disease state.
