Mass Spectrometry Imaging
We have developed tapping-mode scanning probe electrospray ionization (t-SPESI), which enables the extraction and ionization of analytes using a vibrating quartz capillary probe and a small amount of solvent, and have applied it to mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) of biological tissues. However, during long-term measurements, the accumulation of biological components at the probe tip leads to flow path clogging. In this study, we fabricated a fluorinated probe and evaluated its effectiveness for long-term MSI.
