A New Silicon Dioxide-Coated MALDI-ToF Sample Plate for Peptide Analysis

Figure 1

Comparisons of the mass shift levels from saliva samples as obtained on coated and common plates. At a peak of 1187.5 Da and 1286.3 Da, the mass shift level of the coated plate was slightly greater than that of the common plate. For the remaining four peaks, the means of mass shift levels of the coated plate were lower than those of the common plate. Values for this and Figures 2 and 3 are expressed as the .
