The instant invention involves the use of a combination of preparatory
steps in conjunction with mass spectroscopy and time-of-flight detection
procedures to maximize the diversity of biopolymers which are verifiable
within a particular sample. The cohort of biopolymers verified within
such a sample is then viewed with reference to their ability to evidence
at least one particular disease state; thereby enabling a diagnostician
to gain the ability to characterize either the presence or absence of at
least one disease state relative to recognition of the presence and/or
the absence of the biopolymer.
