Abstract:
Coating materials such as MALDI matrix solutions are aerosolized and are used to coat analyte particles in an acoustic coater. Methods and devices for coating analyte particles in real time are disclosed. The coating improves the detection and quantification of the analyte particles using analytical instruments such as an aerosol time of flight mass spectrometer.

Claim (Index 27):
A method for coating sampled aerosol particles with a coating material, the method comprising:\n aerosolizing a coating material comprising at least one of solid particles and a mixture of solid particles to form a first aerosol; providing a sampled aerosol containing analyte particles to form a second aerosol; providing an acoustic coater to receive said first aerosol and said second aerosol; and, providing an acoustic field to said acoustic coater to urge said first aerosol to impinge upon particles of said second aerosol to form coated aerosol particles comprising a coating of said first aerosol on particles of said second aerosol.
