The Thermo Scientific MALDI-Orbitrap is the facility’s only Imaging Mass Spectrometry (IMS) instrument. Based on a mass spectrometer that provides high mass resolution over a wide mass range (Orbitrap), this instrument can detect diverse types of molecules and determine their relative abundance and distribution in tissue sections. Typically, this instrument is used to map peptides/proteins, hormones, lipids, metabolites, as well as drugs and drug metabolites.
