In general, the infrared absorption spectrum is a fundamental property of every molecule and serves as a fingerprint of the compound and the configuration of its characteristic groups. Because the amount of absorbed energy is proportional to the concentration of the material to be measured, it is possible after calibration to calculate the concentration of a sample. This is done by comparing the intensity and width of a characteristic band with that of a spectrum containing a known concentration of the component in question, provided that the Lambert-Beer law holds.

In MALDI spectrometry (matrix laser desorption-ionization) protein ions are created and accelerated through an electric field. These ions travel through an acceleration tube, where the smaller ions travel faster and reach the detector first. Therefore, the time of flight (TOF) in the electric field is a parameter dependent on the mass or more precisely on the mass/charge ratio. Minimal quantities of biomolecules of a few picomoles (pmol) to femtomol (fmol) are needed for analysis. The resulting mass spectrum for the proteins under analysis varies between different microorganisms. For the final identification, a comparison is made with the spectra found in reference libraries.

Infrared spectroscopy relies on the interaction of matter with infrared light. This interaction causes changes in the dipole moment of the molecule, which is studied by creating vibrations. These vibrations, which appear in an infrared spectrum, can give us the identity of the chemical elements present in the sample. Usually the absorption of light by the sample is measured with respect to frequency, which is expressed by the Beer-Lambert law.
