Imaging of Lipids and Metabolites Using Nanospray Desorption Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry

Nanospray desorption electrospray ionization (nano-DESI) is an ambient ionization technique that uses localized liquid extraction for mass spectrometry imaging of molecules on surfaces. Nano-DESI enables imaging of ionizable molecules from a sample in its native state without any special sample pretreatment. In this chapter we describe the protocol for nano-DESI imaging of thin tissue sections.
