In this SelectScience webinar, Prof. Zoltan Takats, Imperial College London, explores the utility of rapid evaporative ionization mass spectrometry (REIMS) in the pharmaceutical and food industry as well as in synthetic biology. Takats also discusses the analytical performance of desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) MS, one of the most popular approaches for mass spectrometric imaging. DESI is compared to other desorption ionization methods and its applications are reviewed in areas including cancer research, drug analysis and the imaging of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples. A brief description of the data analysis workflows associated with these
