The effect of sample age on the metabolic information extracted from formalin-fixed and paraffin embedded tissue samples using desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging

Background: Metabolites, especially lipids, have been shown to be promising therapeutic targets. In conjugation with genes and proteins they can be used to identify phenotypes of disease and support the development of targeted treatments. The majority of clinically collected tissue samples are store...
