Using the IMS 7f-GEO, mapping of major and trace species can be obtained at cell level in biological samples with a lateral resolution reaching ~0.5 μm and excellent detection limits.
The NanoSIMS allows biologists to view and quantify protein turnover and to follow the fate of biomolecules with intra-cellular resolution.
Experiments involving stable isotope labeling and quantitative Multiple Isotope Mass Spectrometry with the NanoSIMS are conducted in order to test the immortal strand hypothesis.
Atom Probe Tomography allows 3-dimensional atomic-scale analysis of impurities in bones and teeth.
