MALDIVision now supports
Multiple Image Overlay: Overlay of up to 10 images so as to visualize the spatial distribution of different compounds present in a tissue in a single image.
Normalized Image Display: Visualize the relative abundance of the target compound with respect to a standard compound in regions of interest in the sampled tissue.
Generate Extracted Ion Image: MALDIVision 2.0 betasupports generation of Extracted Ion Image (EII) for specific mass peaks of interest by extracting them from the mass spectrum.
Export Statistical Data: Statistical information such as mean, median, standard deviation for a selected region of interest can now be exported in .html, .csv and .xls file formats for lab records.
This version also allows users to copy and paste the reconstituted image, the EII or the optical image across different datasets.
Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Imaging Mass Spectrometry (MALDI IMS) is a promising new technology for visualizing the spatial distribution of analytes viz., proteins, peptides, lipids, drug candidate compounds and biomarkers present in a sampled tissue section. MALDI tissue imaging enables researchers to visualize multiple molecular distributions across the surface of a sample without the need for chemical labels or antibodies. MALDI IMS has been increasingly used for candidate biomarker discovery, drug metabolite profiling, lipid analysis and proteomics. MALDI tissue imaging contributes significantly towards disease diagnosis and is now being used to address a number of clinical questions in diseases such as cancer and organ development.
To apply MALDI Imaging technology for clinical purposes, it is essential to develop a computationally powerful data processing and visualization informatics tool which can aid in successful analysis of the large data files obtained during an experimental run.
