The global analysis of biomolecules such as proteins lipids and carbohydrates within a tissue cell or organelle under specific physiological situations is a major challenge of the post-genomic era. Experts from the fields of proteomics lipidomics and metabolomics discussed this challenge at a recent meeting on these topics in Bonn. Our ability to determine large numbers of proteins from a biological sample has dramatically increased through the development of soft-ionization techniques and the growing availability of state-of-the-art mass spectrometers even in non-specialist laboratories. One of the pioneers in applying mass spectrometry to biomolecules Franz Hillenkamp University of Munster Germany gave an excellent introduction to the basic mechanisms of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization MALDI . He discussed the use of MALDI-MS for the imaging of biological tissue and proposed the use of infrared-laser rather than the more commonly used UV-lasers for this aim. Using this different setting the critical matrix preparation step can be avoided and analytes can be directly ionized thereby preventing artificial results. Boris Macek Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry Munich Germany gave an introduction to electrospray-ionization ESI mass .
