A sample plate is provided with a mass-spectrometry-use measuring-sample preparation area which serves as an ionization area used for ionizing the sample through laser irradiation, and a membrane affixing area which serves as a plane area on which the membrane bearing the sample adsorbed thereon is fixedly held. The mass-spectrometry-use measuring-sample preparation area is provided with spots at which the sample, extracted from the membrane fixedly affixed to the membrane affixing area, is dropped together with a matrix solution, and placed, and the spots are preferably regularly arranged thereon. Each of the spots preferably has a round structure surrounded by a groove on the periphery thereof so as to be dried in a converged state without being diffused from a fixed area.
A sample preparation method for preparing a sample to be analyzed on a sample plate for a laser desorption ionization mass spectrometric method which applies a laser beam onto the sample placed on the sample plate attached to a mass spectrometer so that the sample is ionized,
A sample plate, which is attached to, and used in a laser desorption ionization mass spectrometer, with a sample to be analyzed being placed on the surface thereof, so that the sample is ionized through irradiation with a laser beam, comprising:
