DEVELOPMENT OF A STANDARD RETICLE TARGET FOR CALIBRATION OF MALDI IMAGING MASS SPECTROMETRY INSTRUMENTS

I describe a methodology for preparing and using a standard target for calibrating, laser alignment and focusing of MALDI imaging mass spectrometry instruments. The target is constructed by simple detachment patterning of a sublimed rubrene layer on an ITO glass slide. This pattern enables the measu...
