After a sample such as a biomedical tissue section is attached to an electrically-conductive slide glass (S1), the film layer of a matrix substance is appropriately formed by vapor deposition so as to cover the sample (S2). The crystal of the matrix substance in the film layer is very fine and uniform. Subsequently, the slide glass on which the matrix film layer is formed is placed in a vaporized solvent atmosphere, and the solvent infiltrates into the matrix film layer (S3). When the solvent sufficiently infiltrated is vaporized, a substance to be measured in the sample takes in the matrix and re-crystallized. Furthermore, the matrix film layer is formed again on the surface by the vapor deposition (S4). The added matrix film layer absorbs excessive energy of a laser beam during MALDI, which suppresses the denaturation of the substance to be measured and the like, so that high detection sensitivity can be achieved while high spatial resolution is maintained.

生物医学组织切片等样品粘贴到导电玻片(S1)上后,通过气相沉积法适当形成基质物质薄膜层,以覆盖样品(S2)。薄膜层中基质物质的晶体非常细小且均匀。随后,将形成基质膜层的玻片置于气化溶剂环境中,溶剂渗入基质膜层中(S3)。当充分渗入的溶剂气化后,样品中的待测物就会进入基质并重新结晶。此外,基质膜层通过气相沉积(S4)再次在表面上形成。添加的基质膜层可在 MALDI 过程中吸收激光束的过多能量,从而抑制待测物质的变性等,从而在保持高空间分辨率的同时实现高检测灵敏度。
