Abstract

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) combined with laser-induced postionization for MALDI-2 enables the simultaneous registration of numerous classes of small molecules (e.g., secondary metabolites including sterols) as well as phospholipids, glycolipids, and glycans from tissue sections and from cell cultures with strongly boosted ion yields. Here, we describe methodological aspects that are key for optimizing the analytical sensitivity and spatial resolution of a MALDI-2 imaging experiment. We will include both top-illumination MALDI-2 as well as the recently introduced transmission (t-) mode MALDI-2 approach.
