New publications highlight reactive DESI, data quality in tissue analysis, and histologically compatible solvents for DESI imaging

Trace detection of inorganic oxidants using desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) mass spectrometry

E Sokol, AU Jackson… - Central European Journal of Chemistry, 2011
An important facet of forensic and counterterrorism investigations is the rapid collection of evidence to determine the type, quantity and composition of explosives [1]. There are over two hundred explosive materials officially listed [2], including nitrated organic compounds, inorganic ...

Data quality in tissue analysis using desorption electrospray ionization

AL Dill, LS Eberlin, AB Costa, DR Ifa… - Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry
Abstract There has been a recent surge in applications of mass spectrometry (MS) to tissue analysis, particularly lipid-based tissue imaging using ambient ionization techni- ques. This recent growth highlights the need to examine the effects of sample handling, storage conditions, ...

Nondestructive, Histologically Compatible Tissue Imaging by Desorption Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry

LS Eberlin, CR Ferreira, AL Dill, DR Ifa, L Cheng… - ChemBioChem
Imaging mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful technique that has been gaining increased attention and broad use in many fields of science. Many biological applications are being pur- sued that make use of the comprehensive information it pro- vides on the distribution of multiple ...
