Acoustic ejection of samples from a well plate
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240038518A1) describes a method for ejecting multiple samples from a well plate in a mass spectrometry device. The method involves receiving sample intensity predictions for each sample, determining ejection time delays based on these predictions, and acoustically ejecting the samples in a specific sequence. By analyzing the samples with the mass spectrometry device, ion intensity signals are obtained and stored for further analysis. The method also includes calculating adjusted time periods and performing sequential sample ejections based on the intensity predictions.
Furthermore, the patent application also details a mass analysis instrument with specific components such as an open port interface, a fluid pump, an electrospray ionization source, a detector, a movable stage for the well plate, a processor, and memory storing instructions for the instrument's operations. The instrument is designed to acoustically eject samples from the well plate in a controlled manner based on predicted or actual sample intensities. The operations of the instrument involve moving the stage to align wells with the interface, ejecting samples with specific time delays, and detecting sample intensities before ejection. The instrument's design allows for precise analysis and handling of samples in mass spectrometry applications, enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of the analysis process.
