Ion Image Reconstruction Using BioMap Software

  • Chapter
Imaging Mass Spectrometry

Abstract

This chapter is devoted to introducing the basic use of the BioMap for IMS data analysis. BioMap (free software; http://www.maldi-msi.org) is widely used to process mass spectral data for creation of two-dimensional coordinates of the surface versus intensity with excellent usability. In this chapter, we introduce the following methods: (1) how to set up the BioMap software, (2) the method of ion image reconstruction, and (3) data analyses of the mass spectra among the multiple regions of interest (ROI) and further data analyses; for instance, the differential analysis of mass spectra between the ROIs.
