Les pyro-spectrogrammes de masses multiples (PSMM): moyen rapide de différenciation bactérienne à l'aide d'un ordinateur

Direct pyrolysis at 800, 900, 950, and 999 °C of bacterial samples at the entrance of the ionization source of a mass spectrometer is proposed. This technique is called multiple masses pyrospectrometry (MMPS). Its results are used for the automated rapid identification of unknown strains via computer memory and data bank facilities.
