ABSTRACT:
This invention is directed to probes that are removably insertable into mass spectrometers. The probes have sample presenting surfaces, at least, that contain non-metallic materials. The probes are useful in methods of desorbing analytes from the probe surface. The invention also is directed to detection systems that include the probes and methods of detecting analytes using the system.
