High stringency evaluation of the inactivation / exclusion efficacy of a MALDI-TOF MS chemical extraction method, with filtration of extract through 0.1 µm filters, on Bacillus anthracis Vollum vegetative cells and spores.

A previous report indicated that a formic acid chemical extraction method for the preparation of protein extracts for matrix-assisted laser desorption time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) identification, with filtration of extracts through 0.2 μm regenerated cellulose (RC) filters, would...
