Spatial OMICS and MetID – Ion Mobility MSI: adding a new dimension to spatial metabolomics

The combination of high spatial resolution and throughput MALDI imaging capabilities with high-performance Trapped Ion-Mobility Spectrometry (TIMS) separations provides a uniquely tunable platform to address many challenges associated with advanced molecular imaging applications. The capabilities of such TIMS-based platform provide a critical need to the imaging community by supplementing the lack of chromatographic separation in IMS studies. We will present the first commercial software to process timsTOF flex MALDI imaging data.
