MALDI-TOF-MS imaging is used for label-free bioanalysis of the spatial distribution of pharmaceuticals, biomolecules, and other molecules from a tissue section [26 (link)]. The autoflex speed™ MALDI-TOF-MS imaging (Bruker, Bremen, Germany) was utilized to reveal the quantitative distribution of MitoQ across a tissue section (8 μm) having high spatial resolution from BALB/c nude mice injected with 5 mg/kg/day MitoQ intraperitoneally for three consecutive days. 2,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB, Bruker, 8201346, 30 g/L) with 1% trifluoroacetic acid was utilized as the matrix for MALDI-TOF-MS imaging analysis.
