"The instrument is easy to use; however, it is hard to obtain the reproducibility for the spraying result. As it is quite robust, service after sale is not very often except purchasing some consumable products. If the analysis is mainly focused on profiling, the spatial resolution of imaging is not important, it could be a choice for routine analysis. "
Reliable tissue sample preparation enables high-sensitivity imaging of the spatial distribution of protein biomarkers and drug candidates in biological and clinical research.
Using unique vibrational vaporization technology, ImagePrep provides highly reproducible matrix preparations for MALDI Imaging with a fully automated process.
On tissue, a lateral resolution of 50 µm is achieved and high quality mass spectra for localization of biomarkers in tissue slices are obtained.
The complete MALDI Molecular Imaging solution comprises the fully-automated ImagePrep station, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, data analysis and statistical evaluation software.
