Systems and methods lattice spray substrates for mass spectrometry

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a lattice substrate adapted for use in direct ionization mass spectrometry. The substrate may have a plurality of tessellated unit cells forming an integral structure. Each tessellated unit cell may have a dimension of no more than about 1.5 mm and may include a plurality of pores arranged in an ordered pattern. The substrate may further include a form factor suitable for use with a direct ionization mass spectrometry system.
