Understand biological systems
Get a complete chemical analysis of tissues and understand the underlying mechanism of their changes.
Study:
the development of an organism
the pathogenesis of diseases
tissue's response to drugs or stimulants (e.g. chemotherapeutic agents, toxins and anti-inflammatories)
Examine in one procedure:
changes in the level and conformation of proteins, lipids, nucleic acids and carbohydrates
the presence of mineral deposits (e.g. calcification in breast tissue and atherosclerosis)
the redox states of heme proteins (e.g. neuroglobins and myoglobins)
