ABSTRACT:
A base plate for mass spectrometry analysis is disclosed, which is used in a method in which a substance immobilized on a surface of the base plate is desorbed from the surface by application of laser light thereto and the ion of the desorbed substance is captured for mass spectrometry analysis. The base plate includes, on at least a portion of the surface thereof, a roughened metal surface capable of exciting local plasmon when exposed to laser light. The roughened metal surface is formed, for example, by forming numerous micropores in a surface of an alumina layer and filling gold particles in the micropores. Each gold particle has a head portion having a size larger than a diameter of the micropore and projecting from the surface of the alumina layer. Use of this base plate allows use of lower-power laser light.
