HIGH-THROUGHPUT ANALYSIS OF TISSUE MICROARRAYS USING AUTOMATED DESORPTION ELECTROSPRAY IONIZATION MASS SPECTROMETRY

High-throughput analysis of tissue microarrays using automated desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry

Abstract Tissue microarrays (TMAs) are commonly used for the rapid analysis of large numbers of tissue samples, often in morphological assessments but increasingly in spectroscopic analysis, where specific molecular markers are targeted via immunostaining.Here we report the use of an automated high-throughput system based on desorption electrospray
