Abstract:
The present disclosure relates generally to methods and apparatus for determining components and associated conditions in a dermatological sample, and preparing personalized cosmetics or treatments. In particular, the present disclosure relates to the use of surface desorption ionization-mass spectrometry methods and apparatus to assay dermatological samples. The method and apparatus can allow real time analysis of sample molecules, such as in skin and hair, for molecular diagnostics in dermatology, dermatopathology and the preparation of personalized cosmetics.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of analyzing a dermatological sample comprising:\n (i) generating sample ions from the dermatological sample using a surface desorption ionization source operating at or near atmospheric pressure; (ii) receiving the ions into a mass spectrometer; (iii) identifying at least one dermatological related compound in the sample from results from the mass spectrometer; (iv) comparing the at least one identified dermatological related compound in the sample to one or more known dermatological profiles; and (v) identifying at least one condition related to the dermatological sample.
