ABSTRACT:
A new sample plate handling apparatus for use with mass analysis, and methods for use the same have been developed. The sampling plate handling apparatus comprises a sample plate receiver which receives the sample plate in a first plane, a rotating device for rotating the sample plate from the first plane to a second plane, and a relocation device that relocates the sample plate in the second plane such that one of the samples on the sample plate is in the position desired for analysis by the mass analyzer. In one implementation, the relocation device can relocate the sample plate such that a beam of radiation that irradiates a sample on the sample plate emanates ionized particles that are substantially aligned with ion transfer optics of the mass analyzer.
