- Full control of the digestion process
- Essential for reproducible results
MALDI Imaging of Proteins and Peptides
MALDI mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) enables the visualisation of the spatial distribution of a broad range of analytes within thin slices of samples such as human, animal or plant tissue.
While small molecules like pharmaceuticals and lipids can be ionized directly after matrix deposition on the sample, a direct analysis of the vast majority of proteins is not possible. Larger proteins, membrane proteins or even protein complexes with several subunits need to be cut into smaller peptide fragments which then can be subsequently ionized and analysed by MALDI MS.
A successful and reproducible digestion process is essential for any MALDI-MSI of proteins.
