Bruker ImagePrep MALDI

The ImagePrep is a matrix deposition device for MALDI imaging in biomarker research, drug imaging and pathology.

Reliable tissue sample preparation enables highly sensitive imaging of the spatial distribution of protein biomarkers and drug candidates in biological and clinical research.

Using unique vibration evaporation technology, ImagePrep provides highly reproducible matrix preparations for MALDI imaging with a fully automated process.

On tissue, a lateral resolution of 50 µm is achieved and high-quality mass spectra for the localisation of biomarkers in tissue slices are obtained.

The complete MALDI Molecular Imaging solution includes the fully automated ImagePrep station, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, data analysis and statistical evaluation software.
