STRUCTURAL SEPARATIONS OF ENDOGENOUS AND EXOGENOUS COMPOUNDS DIRECTLY FROM TISSUE SECTIONS BY ION MOBILITY MASS SPECTROMETRY

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS) can provide the spatial distribution, relative abundance, and molecular identity of thousands of analytes directly from tissue sections. Due to the complex nature of tissue samples, additional analyte separation is required t...
