A system (20) and method utilizes distance- measuring equipment (40) including a laser sensor (42) for controlling the collection instrument-to-surface distance during a sample collection process for use, for example, with mass spectrometric detection. The laser sensor is arranged in a fixed positional relationship with the collection instrument (23), and a signal is generated by way of the laser sensor which corresponds to the actual distance between the laser sensor and the surface (22). The actual distance between the laser sensor and the surface is compared to a target distance between the laser sensor and the surface when the collection instrument is arranged at a desired distance from the surface for sample collecting purposes, and adjustments are made, if necessary, so that the actual distance approaches the target distance.

L'invention concerne un système (20) et un procédé utilisant un équipement (40) de mesure de distance comprenant un capteur (42) à laser pour contrôler la distance dun instrument de prélèvement à une surface pendant un processus de prélèvement déchantillons destiné à être utilisé, par exemple, avec une détection par spectrométrie de masse. Le capteur à laser est disposé dans une position relative fixe par rapport à linstrument (23) de prélèvement, et on génère au moyen du capteur à laser un signal correspondant à la distance effective entre le capteur à laser et la surface (22). Ladite distance effective entre le capteur à laser et la surface est comparée à une distance visée entre le capteur à laser et la surface lorsque linstrument de prélèvement est placé à une distance souhaitée de la surface à des fins de prélèvement déchantillons, et on effectue si nécessaire des ajustements  de telle sorte que la distance effective approche la distance visée.
