ABSTRACT:
A method of MALDI sample plate processing includes capturing an image of a plate positioned outside a mass spectrometer. The image is processed to identify one or more attributes of an individual sample on the plate, where the attributes are selected from a position attribute, a geometry attribute and an internal density distribution attribute. A laser impact position is selected within the mass spectrometer based upon one or more of the attributes.
