USE OF A COMPOSITE OR COMPOSITION OF DIAMOND AND OTHER MATERIAL FOR ANALYSIS OF ANALYTES

摘要

The present invention relates to the use of composites or compositions of diamond/non-diamond material, e.g. diamond/non-diamond carbon material for chemical or biological analysis. The invention further relates to the use of this material in separation adherence and detection of chemical of biological samples. Applications of either structurized substrates or mixed phase particles of this material include but are not limited to processes which involve desorption-ionization of a sample, more specifically mass spectroscopy.
