Abstract
Medical swabs are used for biofluid and tissue sampling in clinical applications. The use of medical swabs as electrospray ionization probes for direct mass spectrometric analysis is a novel and potentially widely applicable development. Here we discuss ion generation, characterize ionization behavior via microscopic videography and describe some illustrative examples of applications.
