Imaging mass spectrometry (MS) techniques are often utilized without an understanding of their underlying principles, making it difficult for scientists to determine when and how they can exploit MS to visualize their biomolecules of interest. Introduction to Spatial Mapping of Biomolecules by Imaging Mass Spectrometry is an essential reference to help scientists determine the status and strategies of biomolecule analysis, describing its many applications for diverse classes of biomolecules.
The book builds a foundation of imaging MS knowledge by introducing ionization sources, sample preparation, visualization guidelines, molecule identification, quantification, data analysis, etc. The second section contains chapters focused on case studies on analyzing a biomolecule class of molecules. Case studies include an introduction/background, and a summary of successful imaging MS studies with illustrative figures and future directions.
- Provides the introductory foundations of imaging mass spectrometry for those new to the technique
- Organized by topic to facilitate a quick deep dive, allowing researchers to immediately apply the imaging MS techniques to their work
- Includes case studies summarizing the imaging MS techniques developed for the class of molecules
Scientists interested in imaging mass spectrometry, including bioanalytical chemists in academia and pharma, with or without experience with mass spectrometry (either as mass spec lab scientists/PIs or customers of such mass spec services). Biochemists, biologists, biomedical scientists or other scientists who want to learn more about visualizing specific biomolecules on the tissue.
