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 15):
A device for coating sampled aerosol containing analyte particles with MALDI matrix solution, the device comprising:\n a nebulizer to aerosolize the MALDI matrix solution to form a first aerosol of liquid particles; and, an acoustic coater in fluid communication with said nebulizer and configured to receive said first aerosol and sampled aerosol containing analyte particles, wherein an acoustic field is applied to said acoustic coater to urge said first aerosol to impinge upon the analyte particles in the sampled aerosol to on-the-fly to form coated aerosol particles comprising a coating of first aerosol on the analyte particles.
