Visualizing surfaces with mass spectrometry

New article!

EPFL scientists have developed a super-nifty way to do mass spectrometry imaging across a 2D surface, and without all that chemical prep etc that other methods have. They’ve already tested it successfully on peptides, proteins and cells – so next  up, it’s living tissues.
