Layer formation of 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid crystals via mist deposition for mass spectrometry imaging of biological samples

Dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) crystal layers were formed via mist deposition. Crystal layers exhibiting whiskers measuring a few hundred micrometers were formed at a nozzle temperature of 200 °C. DHB crystal layers exhibited strong absorbance in the ultra-violet wavelength regions, and Raman spectroscopy confirmed their vibrational property. The lipid component was analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry imaging using a DHB crystal layer as the mass ionization assist agent. Cholesterols, diacylglycerides, and triglycerides were detected as sodium adducts. By preventing heterogeneous co-crystallization with analytes, mass images were clearer than when using the conventional aerosol spray method.
