Fully Automated Tissue Classification by Imaging Mass Spectrometry

Waters
8 May 2018

Desorption electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry is a surface analysis technique that can rapidly analyse the lipid and metabolite composition of a tissue section. By moving the tissue under the analysis probe, a chemical map of the sample can be generated in a matter of minutes. Each tissue type or disease state has its own characteristic molecular fingerprint, therefore, using histologically annotated databases of these molecular profiles, these maps can be classified using machine learning approaches. This poster investigates how this technique could potentially be used to assist in histopathology workflows.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.

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.
