Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization (MALDI) Imaging Mass Spectrometry (IMS): A Challenge for Reliable Quantitative Analyses

Abstract: Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) is capable of determining the distribution of hundreds of molecules at once directly from tissue sections. Since tissues are analyzed intact without homogenization, spatial relationships of molecules are preserved. e technology is, therefore, undoubtedly powerful to investigate the molecular complexity of biological processes. However, several technical re nements are essential for full exploitation of MALDI-IMS to dictate dyna… Show more

“…Tissue washing was refused in this study, as hydrophilic solvents would have caused metabolite diffusion and high amylase activity [ 58 ]. MS signal intensities were not suitable for absolute quantification, which is still a challenge in MALDI MSI [ 59 ]. The use of labeled external standards might be beneficial to address the quantification of oligosaccharides.…”

“…Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI-IMS) is a technology that has been used for visualizing in situ distributions of small metabolites (19). It has been used for examining tissue distributions of substances, which are difficult for immunostaining techniques to detect (20)(21)(22)(23).…”

“…MALDI has become widely used because it is among the most sensitive, highest throughput and highest spatial resolution of MSI techniques. A number of previous reviews have covered various aspects and accumulated literature of MALDI-MSI in detail, including the quantitative analysis of tissue [53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63]. Here, we briefly overview the approaches and challenges to achieving quantitative MSI with MALDI, which is non-trivial and requires care in experimental design.…”
