Long Abstract
Introduction
New ionization sources as alternatives to MALDI have been developed in the recent decade to overcome many of the inherent limitations of MALDI. In 2005, we developed MALDESI as an innovative ionization source for direct analysis and mass spectrometry imaging. However, given the approaches relies on mid IR lasers which are harder to focus, typically have lower rep-rates at the required laser fluence for effective ablation, and the lack of a core group of scientists working this area, we have spent the last 12 years developing the technology for a host of applications including mass spectrometry imaging to overcome these limitations and demonstrate the significant advantages of this approach over MALDI.
Methods
New mid-IR laser technology will be presented, new optical trains, and a host of interesting tissue imaging applications will be presented.
Results
We have demonstrated a spatial resolution of less than 50 microns, have a new laser with a very high rep-rate where we obtain complete ablation, a number of studies where absolute quantification has been demonstrated, exposure studies to toxins in our environment, and measuring neutotransmitters in the brain. Advances in our open source software will also be presented.
Conclusions & Discussion
New technological innovations have further enabled IR-MALDESI demonstrating high spatial resolution, high sensitivity, quantification of targeted analytes, and has provided a clearer understanding of a wide variety of key questions facing human health.
