Ionization-assisting substrates Desorption Ionization Using Through Hole Alumina MEmbrane

DIUTHAME® ensures high reproducibility and accuracy in your mass spectrometry tasks! DIUTHAME is … … an ionization-assisting tool developed by Hamamatsu for MALDI TOF-MS (time-of-flight mass spectrometry). DIUTHAME streamlines the ionization process in mass spectrometry by replacing the matrix used in MALDI, and totally eliminates the cumbersome pretreatment of samples needed up till now. Medical care Drug discovery Basic research Material science Places where DIUTHAME is used Examples of compatible samples Research institutes with MALDI mass spectrometers Compatible with a wide range of samples...

No matrix background noise High reproducibility (Measureble at low molecular region) with minimal variation no matter who does High spatial resolution Needs no sample pretreatment, slashes the time and effort nanometer-order structure Measurement using matrix How DIUTHAME differs from matrix ionization Matrix preparation / Apply matrix Measurement using DIUTHAME DIUTHAME is placed on sample *In mass spectrometry imaging Generates matrix-derived noise Background noise (Low molecular region) Generates virtually no noise Depends on worker skill Spatial resolution High resolution due to micropore...

Mass spectrometry imaging measurement examples Black rice Measurements were carried out in cooperation with Designated Assistant Professor Keiko Kuwata, The Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules Nagoya University Measurement method Set a slice of black rice on an ITO glass slide. Remove the film and place the DIUTHAME on the black rice. Drop 2 μL of “70 % AcCN / 30 % H20” solution from above the DIUTHAME to extract the components of interest. Start measurement after the sample dries. Measurement example Sample Mass spectrometry imaging of black rice * * After taking mass spectrometry imaging,...

Mass spectrometry imaging measurement examples MOuse brain Measurement method Set a slice of frozen mouse brain on an ITO glass slide. Place DIUTHAME on the mouse brain slice before it thaws. After the sample thaws with fingertip heat the components of the sample will soak up to the surface by capillary action. Start measurement after the sample dries. Slice Sample Heat Do this work in a cryostat MS imaging result of one sample taken by positive and negative ion mode Laser irradiation marks on the DIUTHAME * Before making measurements using mass spectrometer, an optical image was captured from...
