General Introduction Bruker Daltonik GmbH

Page 10 of 77 ImagePrep User Manual Revision 4

2 General Introduction

Sample preparation is crucial for the quality of MALDI-tissue-imaging data.

Unfortunately, the current matrix application protocols have significant

disadvantages:

While pneumatic spray preparations provide good homogeneity and spatial

resolution of the images, the process is manual and highly irreproducible.

Depending of the degree of tissue wetting either the analyte molecules are badly

incorporated into the matrix (too dry) or the spatial resolution is lost (too wet).

Nano-spotting on the other hand provides quality spectra but as a sequential

process it is slow, spatial resolution is limited by the spot raster (typical >200 µm)

and perfect alignment with the mass spectrometer is critical.

ImagePrep is a new preparation device for MALDI Imaging that reproducibly

provides high resolution images at high speed and high spectra quality at the same

time.

On tissue, a lateral resolution of 50 µm can be achieved.

In the ImagePrep device, matrix

aerosol is created by vibrational

vaporization (see Figure 4), that is

gently deposited onto tissue

sections. During the whole

preparation process the spray

chamber is filled with nitrogen in

order to prevent sample oxidation

and to obtain reproducible

experimental conditions

independent of the humidity in the

ambient air.

An average droplet size of 20μm is generated with all droplet diameters being

smaller than 50μm, which corresponds well to the final matrix crystal size.

Multiple sections on a microscope slide can be homogeneously matrix-coated,

typically with 30-100 cycles within about one hour. Each cycle consists of three

phases:

1. deposit droplet layer,

2. incubate in controlled atmosphere, and

3. allow partial/complete drying.
