Meet the future environmental health research — Waters SYNAPT G2-Si HDMS QToF with MALDI and DESI sources for tissue imaging mass spectrometry to be exact. 🔵 The device is capable of identifying specific molecules within tissues, a crucial capability in identifying the connection between toxins in the environment and the onset of disease. Using laser irradiation, this machine allows molecules in fresh-frozen or formalin-fixed tissue sections to be identified and localized in the tissue without the need to utilize molecule-specific reagents, such as antibodies. #ysph #publichealth #epidemiology #environmentalhealth
