Molecular Tissue Imaging One of the most exciting recent developments in MALDI-TOF is the technology to generate images of individual molecules in tissue sections. This has the potential to revolutionize the discovery of protein targets associated with disease or treatment prognosis. MALDI imaging can also be used to monitor the distributions of lipids, drugs or their metabolites throughout the tissue without the need for labeling. With its kHz speed and 20-50 µm image resolution, the autoflex speed series was specifically optimized to deliver outstanding results in truly High Definition...
