Rapid bacterial discrimination by MALDI-TOF MS

Dossier MALDI - TOF ■ Oligonucleotide analysis by MALDI - MS

Matrix-assisted laser desorption (MALDI) time-offlight (TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) has been successfully used for oligonucleotide sequence confirmation by mass analysis of fragments generated by concentration-dependent exonuclease digestion. This approach is particularly well-suited to the analysis of synthetic DNA due to the relatively short length of the DNA strands. Additionally, an importa...

MALDI-TOF MS in Prenatal Genomics.

Prenatal diagnosis aims either to provide the reassurance to the couples at risk of having an affected child by timely appropriate therapy or to give the parents a chance to decide the fate of the unborn babies with health problems. Invasive prenatal diagnosis (IPD) is accurate, however, carrying a risk of miscarriage. Non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) has been developed based on the exist...
