Imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) visualizes the distribution of a wide range of biomolecules in cells and tissue sections. IMS can analyze a variety of biomolecules including unexpected metabolites, without labels in a non-targeted way. We developed AP-MALDI (atmospheric pressure matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization) which is equipped with an atmospheric pressure ion-source chamber. It allows us to analyze flesh samples with minimal loss of intrinsic water or volatile compounds.
