Surface pretreatment effects on titanium chips for the adhesion of pathogenic bacteria in the MALDI-TOF MS

- Hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity properties on the bacterial chips were investigated.
- S. aureus preferred hydrophilic non-heat treated control surfaces of Titanium chips.
- P. aeruginosa on laser ablated TiBCs leads the adhesion due to surface affinity.
- Titanium chips work as On-Chips MALDI TOF MS for bacteria analysis and characterization.
