MALDI imaging for small molecules

MALDI imaging is a analysis technique that allows to directly measure the distribution of drugs and metabolites, but also of other compounds, such as lipids, in tissue.

No radioactive labelling is required. MALDI imaging is especially well suited in drug safety and distribution studies for experimental drugs

The complete instrumentation for performing small molecule MALDI imaging is available from Bruker

  • The ImagePrep for automated & reproducible matrix application
    Unique MALDI FTMS and MALDI TOF mass spectrometers with optimized laser (smartbeam technology)
  • Dedicated software for data acquisition and data visualization (flexImaging)
