Performance of AP-SMALDI MSImaging imagine10Spatial Resolution
ConclusionThe methods applied to Orbitrap-based instrumentation shows high reliability, validity and performance for routine histological analysis.
Imaging selectivity, dynamic range are significantly improved upon combining high spatial resolution (here down to 3 µm, typically 10 um) with high mass resolution and high mass accuracy obtained with Orbitrap-based instrumentation.
Such highly spatially resolved, high mass resolution MS/MS data are shown for the first time.

IntroductionMALDI Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MSI), 17 years after its first announcement [1], has turned into a routine method of highest performance for the molecular histology of biological tissue [2]. The method, providing high resolution and accuracy in mass and space, has been developed for a reliable identification and localization of individual tissue components, and has been applied recently to a number of research areas in pathology, cancer diagnostics, metabolic pathway analysis and plant research [2-5]. Targeted compound classes included phospholipids, peptides, proteins, drug compounds and metabolites. An atmospheric pressure (AP) ion source has been developed for these studies, based on a dedicated microoptical setup that provides highest spatial resolution of 3 to 5 micrometer on tissue in imaging mode on Orbitrap-based instrumentation.The advantages of Orbitrap detection are given here:1. High mass resolution allows to analyze complex tissue samples, sample complexity2. High mass accuracy enables for straightforward sum formula assignments and facilitates
substance identification, substance identificationAccurate MS and MS/MS imaging data allow to align images, confirmation
3. Irrelevance of sample morphology/flatness, ease of sample / matrix preparation4. Convenience of AP interface, compatibility to ambient analysis

MS and MS/MS Imaging
A coaxial ion source geometry was employed to irradiate, desorb, ionize and transport biological compounds under atmospheric pressure conditions. Ions are introduced into the mass spectrometer through an
extended heated capillary. Transfer efficiency was optimized using both, gas stream dynamics and electrostatic ion focusing. The
achievable mass accuracy during tissue imaging operation is typically better than 1 ppm RMS using lock mass calibration. Imaging speed is
up to 2 pixels per second, depending on mass range and mass resolution setting. Matrix preparation and on-tissue protein digestion
were performed using a new dedicated protocol.

Performance of AP-SMALDI MSImaging imagine10Spatial Resolution
ConclusionThe methods applied to Orbitrap-based instrumentation shows high reliability, validity and performance for routine histological analysis.
Imaging selectivity, dynamic range are significantly improved upon combining high spatial resolution (here down to 3 µm, typically 10 um) with high mass resolution and high mass accuracy obtained with Orbitrap-based instrumentation.
Such highly spatially resolved, high mass resolution MS/MS data are shown for the first time.

IntroductionMALDI Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MSI), 17 years after its first announcement [1], has turned into a routine method of highest performance for the molecular histology of biological tissue [2]. The method, providing high resolution and accuracy in mass and space, has been developed for a reliable identification and localization of individual tissue components, and has been applied recently to a number of research areas in pathology, cancer diagnostics, metabolic pathway analysis and plant research [2-5]. Targeted compound classes included phospholipids, peptides, proteins, drug compounds and metabolites. An atmospheric pressure (AP) ion source has been developed for these studies, based on a dedicated microoptical setup that provides highest spatial resolution of 3 to 5 micrometer on tissue in imaging mode on Orbitrap-based instrumentation.The advantages of Orbitrap detection are given here:1. High mass resolution allows to analyze complex tissue samples, sample complexity2. High mass accuracy enables for straightforward sum formula assignments and facilitates
substance identification, substance identificationAccurate MS and MS/MS imaging data allow to align images, confirmation
3. Irrelevance of sample morphology/flatness, ease of sample / matrix preparation4. Convenience of AP interface, compatibility to ambient analysis

MS and MS/MS Imaging
A coaxial ion source geometry was employed to irradiate, desorb, ionize and transport biological compounds under atmospheric pressure conditions. Ions are introduced into the mass spectrometer through an
extended heated capillary. Transfer efficiency was optimized using both, gas stream dynamics and electrostatic ion focusing. The
achievable mass accuracy during tissue imaging operation is typically better than 1 ppm RMS using lock mass calibration. Imaging speed is
up to 2 pixels per second, depending on mass range and mass resolution setting. Matrix preparation and on-tissue protein digestion
were performed using a new dedicated protocol.
