Rapid identification of species, sex and maturity by mass spectrometric analysis of animal faeces

Rapid identification of species, sex and maturity by mass spectrometric analysis of animal faeces

Abstract Background We describe a new approach to the recovery of information from faecal samples, based on the analysis of the molecular signature generated by rapid evaporative ionisation mass spectrometry (REIMS). Results Faecal pellets from five different rodent species were analysed by REIMS, a...
