Bruker Daltonics ImagePrep Comprehensive and Reliable Tissue Sample Preparation for MALDI Imaging think forward

Fully-automated Matrix Preparation New technology: vibrational vaporization In the ImagePrep station, a matrix aerosol is created by vibrational vaporization under controlled conditions that is gently deposited onto tissue sections. An average droplet size of ~20 µm is generated, all droplet diameters are < 50 µm. Reproducibility and quality control 2 mm Density of MALDI matrix layer as a function of the number of spray cycles (10 – 70 cycles). Center: Droplet Distribution of a single spray cycle. “Push-button” matrix application The ImagePrep is a Matrix Deposition Device for MALDI Imaging...

High resolution molecular images High Quality MALDI Imaging Data Acquire high quality spectra Typically, tissue images are obtained that combine an unmatched high spectrum quality with many peptide/ protein signals and a high spatial resolution. A lateral resolution of 50 μm was observed in an Alzheimer rat model, identical to the spot raster used. This result suggests that even higher resolutions can be achieved. ImagePrep completes Bruker Daltonics MALDI Molecular Imager suite Amyloid plaques in rat brain: Spectra taken 50 µm next to a plaque (bottom right) do not show significant amyloid...
