Mass Spectrometry Imaging Technique Allows Fast Analysis of Metabolites in Fixed-Tissue Samples

A new mass spectrometry imaging protocol allows the analysis of metabolites like adenosine monophosphate from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue, shown here as background. (Credit: Helmholtz Zentrum München) The metabolic composition of tissues can be determined—in one day—in fixed-tissue samples, using a newly developed mass spectrometry imaging protocol. Using relatively small amounts of material, [Read More...]
