Title:
MALDI SAMPLE PREPARATION METHOD AND SAMPLE PREPARATION DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/163179
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention involves adhering a sample such as a biological tissue section to a conductive glass slide (S1), and then forming a film layer from an appropriate matrix material by using vacuum deposition so as to cover the sample (S2). The crystals in the matrix material in the film layer are extremely fine and highly uniform. The present invention involves next placing the glass slide on which the matrix film layer is formed in a vaporization solvent atmosphere, and impregnating the matrix film layer with the solvent (S3). When the sufficiently impregnated solvent vaporizes, the substance to be measured in the sample is incorporated into the matrix and re-crystallizes. Furthermore, the present invention involves forming a matrix film layer on the surface again by vacuum deposition (S4). The additional matrix film layer absorbs excess laser beam energy during MALDI, and suppresses alteration and the like of the substance to be measured; hence, it is possible to achieve high detection sensitivity while maintaining high spatial resolution.
