Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MSI)
Generate molecular spatial information directly from surfaces

Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MSI) brings together the powerful, and complementary technologies of MALDI, and DESI to help labs visualize, identify, and measure a broad range of molecular targets directly on surfaces in a range of system solutions tailored to individual applications.
Waters QTof systems provide the ideal platform for discovery MS imaging, with superior performance, proven robustness, and reliability, and the flexibility to adapt to changing priorities, to future needs. Highly efficient fragmentation is achieved via low energy collision induced dissociation (CID), while orthogonal geometry means that key performance attributes like resolution, and accurate mass are unaffected by changes in sample surface topography.
The intuitive, fully integrated workflow of Waters Mass Spectrometry Imaging solutions translates complex samples into meaningful answers more quickly, and easily than ever before. Single-vendor system-level support guarantees compatibility, maximizes productivity, and brings peace of mind for the future.
