An Investigation into Multi-Model Tissue Imaging On a Single Section by DESI and MALDI

An Investigation into Multi-Model Tissue Imaging On a Single Section by DESI and MALDI

3 Feb 2016

This application note form Water Corporation compares two imaging methods for tissues, DESI and MALDI to see if the tissue is modified in any way. The tissue used was frozen colorectal tumor mounted on glass sides.

MALDI SYNAPT G2-Si High Definition Mass Spectrometry

Waters

Redefining Resolution - Resolution in 3 Dimensions. MALDI SYNAPT G2-Si is a uniquely powerful and versatile MS platform. It's the only way to combine multiple dimensions of separation for analysis of complex samples, from imaging to biological research to chemical materials characterization. The MALDI SYNAPT G2-Si gives you high performance, accurate mass MALDI MS/MS, superior post-ionization separation with T-Wave IMS, High Definition Imaging (HDI) MALDI workflows, versatile experimental options, and the ultimate UPLC/MS/MS performance.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Cellular PathologyCellular Pathology deals with the microscopic analysis of tissue samples and cells. Sample preparation and processing includes fixation, staining, sectioning and slide mounting, using equipment such microtomes and cryostats. In choosing immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry kits, consider chromogens, staining method, antibodies, microscopes and imaging.MALDI-TOF MSMALDI-TOF mass spectrometers (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight) are used for the mass analysis of large molecules, including proteins, DNA, polymers and other macromolecules due to its relatively soft ionization, reducing fragmentation whilst allowing fast data acquisition. Tandem mass analyzers such as TOF/TOF systems can be used to increase resolution and sensitivity of your analysis. Find the best MALDI-TOF products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Cell ImagingCell imaging can be achieved using a number of techniques including confocal microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and light sheet microscopy.Data AnalysisThe analysis of data is the process of transforming, modeling and evaluating data to discover useful information from experimental results. LipidomicsImaging Mass SpectrometryTumorsTumor research focuses on understanding abnormal cell growth that leads to cancer. Identifying biomarkers, studying tumor microenvironments, and developing targeted therapies are critical for advancing cancer treatment. Early detection and personalized treatment options are key to improving outcomes for patients.
