Multimodal Imaging System

An atmospheric pressure MALDI-MS imaging system equipped with a high-resolution optical microscope. When combined with an LCMS-9030 mass spectrometer, the microscope acquires high spatial resolution and highly accurate images by MS imaging in ≤20% the time of previous methods. The ability to attach and detach the LCMS-9030 allows the user to switch between acquiring positional information by mass spectrometry imaging and acquiring qualitative and quantitative information by LC/MS analysis.

Mass spectrometry imaging data analysis software developed based on the concept of advanced functionality in a simple process. Uses simple procedures to analyze mass spectrometry imaging data and comes with different multivariate analysis functions that facilitate data analysis from a variety of perspectives with minimal time and effort. Analytical throughput is also improved due to support for large data sets and simultaneous analysis of multiple data sets.

The ICPMS-2030 can be combined with a laser ablation system to create an LA-ICP-MS system. This LA-ICP-MS system can provide molecular imaging information, complementary elemental imaging information, and highly sensitive quantitative information.
LA-ICP-MS software, which was developed specifically for LA-ICP-MS systems, outputs data in the imdx format, which is readable by IMAGEREVEAL MS and thereby eliminates the need for data conversion.
