A device to apply a coating on tissue samples for MALDI imaging
Project Overview
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometric imaging (MALDI-MSI) allows label-free spatial analysis of biological tissue samples. Current sample preparation devices are difficult to control. An airbrush-like device that can be used to apply a fine, uniform coating of a light-absorbing compound to tissue samples would improve the ability to image samples.
