    Abstract: A method of ejecting a plurality of samples from a well plate includes receiving a first sample intensity prediction associated with a first sample in a first well of the well plate. A second sample intensity prediction associated with a second sample in a second well is also received. The second sample intensity prediction is less than the first sample intensity prediction. An ejection time delay value for a subsequent analysis of the first sample and the second sample is determined, based at least in part on the second sample intensity prediction. Thereafter, the first sample is acoustically ejected from the first well, and the second sample is acoustically ejected from the second well.

    Abstract: Focused acoustic radiation, referred to as tonebursts, are applied to a volume of liquid to generate a set of droplets. The droplets generated are substantially smaller in scale than the focal spot size of the acoustic beam (e.g., the frequency at which the acoustic transducer operates). Further, the droplets have trajectories that are substantially in the direction of the acoustic beam propagation direction. In one embodiment, a first toneburst is applied to temporarily raise a protuberance on a free surface of the fluid. After the protuberance has reached a certain state, a second toneburst is applied to the protuberance to break it into very small droplets. In one embodiment, the state of the protuberance at which the second toneburst is supplied is the time period shortly after the protuberance reaches its maximum height but before the protuberance recedes back into the volume of fluid.

    Abstract: An ADE device identifies an identifiable sequence of one or more ejections from at least one sample using a different value or pattern of values for one or more ADE parameters. The identifiable one or more ejections are performed to produce one or more mass peaks that have a different feature value or pattern of feature values for one or more peak features than other mass peaks produced. Ejection times are stored. One or more detected peaks with the different feature values or pattern of feature values are identified as produced by the identifiable one or more ejections. A delay time is calculated from the time of the identifiable ejections and the time of the identified detected peaks and the peaks are aligned with samples using delay time, stored times, and order of the samples.

    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to mass spectrometry. The present invention relates more particularly to methods and systems for use in mass spectrometric identification of a variety of analytes, including high molecular weight species such as proteins. One embodiment of the invention is a method for analyzing an analyte. The method includes nebulizing a suspension of the analyte in a solvent with a surface acoustic wave transducer; and performing mass spectrometry on the nebulized suspension. The surface acoustic wave transducer can be used, for example, to transfer non-volatile peptides and proteins (as well as other analyztes, such as oligonucleotides and polymers) to the gas phase at atmospheric pressure. Nebulization using surface acoustic waves can be conducted in a discontinuous or pulsed mode, similar to that used in MALDI, or in a continuous mode, as in ESI.

    Abstract: The invention relates to the efficient transport of a small fluid sample such as that may be required by analytical devices such as mass spectrometers configured to analyze small samples of biomolecular fluids. Such transport involves nozzleless acoustic ejection, wherein analyte molecules are introduced from a reservoir holding a fluid into an ionization chamber of an analytical device or a small capillary by directing focused acoustic radiation at a focal point near the surface of the fluid sample. This facilitates the analysis of various types of analytes such as biomolecular analytes having a high molecular weight.
