Ground Steel Target Plates in Combination with Direct Transfer of Clinical Candida Isolates Improves Frequencies of Species-Level Identification by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization–Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry in Comparison with Polished Steel Target Plates

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) identification (ID) of Candida yeast isolates is fast and reliable, but the optimal workflow is debated ([1][1], [2][2]). Two different steel target plates are available for the Microflex system (Bruker
