Scientists
from Imperial College London (ICL) have developed a method that uses mass
spectrometry imaging (MSI) to analyse biological samples based on their
chemical makeup.

The
MSI technique uses technologies that reveal how hundreds or thousands of chemical
components are distributed in a tissue sample.
Until
now there has not been a formula to apply this technology to identify tissue
types, but the ICL researchers have this week outlined a method for processing
MSI data and building a database of tissue types.
