Plate for mass spectrometry, process for preparing the same and use thereof

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A plate for mass spectrometry comprising a support and superimposed thereon, a coating containing PVDF (particularly thin layer having PVDF deposited , thereon); and a process for preparing the plate for mass spectrometry characterized by coating a support surface with PVDF. Further there is , provided a method of analyte identification comprising performing gel , electrophoresis of an analyte-containing sample to thereby separate the analyte, transferring the separated analyte from the gel to a plate for mass spectrometry and subjecting the plate to mass spectrometry so as to effect analysis of the transferred analyte.
