DESI-MS Lipid Imaging
When Words Don't Do Justice
Desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS) imaging of lipids in biological samples creates information rich and highly detailed 2D maps to reveal lipid spatial distribution while gaining qualitative and quantitative insights into spatial lipid metabolism.
This convenient and rapid approach enables multiplexing of lipid classes for both targeted and untargeted analysis across a range of biological samples.
Why We Love This Approach
Minimal Sample Needed
Minimal biological sample needed without complex preparation to show spatial location of lipid metabolites
High Selectivity
Target single or multiple classes of lipids to better assess spatial lipid metabolism
Sample Compatibility
Obtain powerful images from a wide range of sample matrices
Quality Images
Generate a wealth of spatial information using high resolution images
