FIG. 1 Typical workflow of a matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) device used in a clinical microbiology laboratory. It is of note that multiple parallel direct depositions or protein extractions for the same sample might be performed in order to obtain a valid result.
