Sample Preparation:

Sampleprep ID:SP002311
Sampleprep Summary:Tissue preparation for MALDI MSI Frozen tissues were placed at -20 °C before sectioning in a Microm HM550 cryostat (Thermo Scientific™). Tissues were sectioned at 10 µm thickness and thaw mounted onto indium-tin-oxide (ITO)-coated slides (Bruker Daltonics) for MALDI MSI analysis with serial sections mounted onto glass slides for histological analyses. The microtome chamber and specimen holder were maintained between -15 °C and -20 °C. Slides were stored at -80 °C until further processing. For desiccation experiments, slides were subjected to desiccation in a tabletop vacuum desiccator before freezing. Matrix deposition A 1,5-Diaminonaphthalene(DAN)-HCl matrix solution was used for all experiments. To generate the hydrochloride derivative of 1,5-DAN, 39.5 mg of 1,5-DAN was dissolved in 500 µL of 1 mol/L hydrochloride solution with 4 mL HPLC-grade water. The solution was sonicated for 20 minutes to dissolve 1,5-DAN, after which 4.5 mL ethanol was added to yield the matrix solution. Matrices were deposited on slides and tissues using a TM-sprayer (HTX imaging, Carrboro, NC). DAN-HCl matrix spray conditions used where: a flow rate of 0.09 mL/min, spray nozzle temperature of 75 °C, and spray nozzle velocity of 1200 mm/min. A four-pass cycle was used with 2 mm track spacing and the nitrogen gas pressure was maintained at 10 psi.
