Research Abstract

Biochemical approaches, such as staining, are widely used as pathological analysis. These methods are essential for pathological analysis. However, they have some disadvantages. For example, they cannot be applied to non-targeting analysis. Establishment of new pathological method is important to analyze idiopathic disease. In this study, new pathological analysis using imaging mass spectrometry for non-targeting analysis was established.
