Popis: The performance of infrared (2.94 microm) and ultraviolet (337 nm) lasers were compared for analysis of purified spores of B. subtilis, B. cereus and B. globigii on a four-inch end-cap reflectron time-of-flight instrument. Infrared matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (IR-MALDI) mass spectra of these microorganisms displayed a larger number of biomarker peaks above m/z 4000, compared with UV-MALDI. Biomarker peaks were observed at higher m/z values with the IR laser.
