| Summary: | Direct analysis and identification of biological tissue is significant for clinical applications. In this study, porcine liver and kidney have been analyzed using laser ablation electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LAESI-TOFMS). This method showed good reproducibility for the same types of tissue and is capable of distinguishing different tissue species. The margin assessment was also performed using porcine renal tissue, and the response time was less than 6 s. Furthermore, human hepatocarcinoma tissue and normal tissue were identified using this method. Our results indicate that LAESI-TOFMS is a feasible approach for direct identification of tumor tissue and potential for assessment of the resection margin. |
