Bio-Imaging Mass Spectrometry Techniques Reveal Molecular Details About Complex Systems, Georgia Institute of Technology Study

EurekAlert -- New bio-imaging mass spectrometry center at Georgia Tech aims to unravel the molecular complexities of biological systems. Understanding biology at the systems level is difficult, especially when studying complex specimens like tissue slices or communities of organisms in a biofilm. Scientists must be able to identify, quantify and locate the molecules present in the samples.
