    Abstract: The invention generally relates to mass tag analysis for rare cells and cell free molecules. In certain embodiments, the invention provides an apparatus including an essentially non-absorbent membrane having at least one pore, a microwell operably associated with the essentially non-absorbent membrane, and an electric field generator. The apparatus may be configured such that an electric field produced by the electric field generator operably interacts with a sample in the microwell and expels a droplet of the sample through the at least one pore in the essentially non-absorbent membrane. In certain embodiments, apparatuses of the invention are used for detection, and optionally quantification, of a target analyte from a heterogeneous sample, such as a rare target analyte (e.g., rare cell) from a biological sample.

    Abstract: The invention generally relates to methods for analyzing a tissue sample. In certain aspects, the invention provides methods that involve obtaining a tissue sample including an unsaturated compound, conducting a radical reaction on the tissue sample that targets a carbon-carbon double bond within the unsaturated compound to thereby produce a plurality of compound isomers, subjecting the plurality of compound isomers to mass spectrometry analysis to identify a location of the carbon-carbon double bond within the unsaturated compound, and quantifying the plurality of compound isomers in order to distinguish normal tissue from diseased tissue.

    Abstract: The invention generally relates to methods for analyzing an analyte in a sample. In certain embodiments, the methods involve providing a capture module, the module configured to capture an analyte in a sample in an ambient environment and generate ions of the analyte, wherein the capture module comprises a cartridge and a porous substrate within the cartridge that is connected to a voltage source, and wherein the porous substrate further comprises an internal standard; capturing the analyte in the sample to the porous substrate of the capture module; generating ions of the analyte and the internal standard held by the porous substrate via the voltage source that is coupled to the porous substrate; and analyzing the generated ions of the analyte and the internal standard in a mass analyzer that is operably coupled to the capture module.
