Herein, we develop a facile strategy for rapid characterization of phospholipids in human serum via indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass slide solid phase extraction MALDI mass spectrometry (ITO-SPE-MALDI-MS). Phospholipid species are retained on ITO slide via solid phase extraction owing to the unique property of the ITO material; the measurement of phospholipid species from 1 μl human serum within 2 min is achievable. A comparison of ITO-SPE strategy with conventional extraction methods was further carried out using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and ion-mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS), resulting in a comparable enrichment performance for the phospholipid analysis. Furthermore, rapid lipidomic profiling of serum samples from human colorectal cancer patients and cell lines was demonstrated. Our results indicate that ITO-SPE-MALDI-MS provides a higher throughput strategy for the analysis of phospholipid species in complex biological mixtures, showcasing its potential for applications in the analysis of clinical biofluids.</p>","PeriodicalId":72192,"journal":{"name":"Analysis & sensing","volume":"4 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/anse.202300097","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140422110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, conventional methods have inherent limitations in terms of both speed and accuracy, often necessitating labour-intensive postsurgical tissue analyses. To overcome these challenges and enhance the precision of cancer surgery, we introduced an innovative Multimodal Sensing and Imaging Platform (MSIP) equipped with advanced pH sensing capabilities. The MSIP represents the synergistic fusion of a miniaturised, flexible wire-based electrochemical pH sensor with a sensitivity of 62.4 mV per pH for real-time functional imaging. Simultaneously, it incorporates a high-speed confocal endomicroscope utilizing a 2.6 mm fibre bundle to achieve subcellular resolution in morphological imaging. The pH sensor enables continuous monitoring of dynamic changes in the tumour microenvironment, offering valuable insights. Confocal endomicroscopy provides high-resolution, real-time imaging of tumour morphology with an impressive 2.2 μm resolution. This integration not only enhances the precision of cancer surgery but also fosters a comprehensive understanding of the biological and molecular characteristics of tumours. By consolidating multiple diagnostic parameters into a unified platform, MSIP has emerged as a transformative technology poised to revolutionise our approach to cancer surgery.</p>","PeriodicalId":72192,"journal":{"name":"Analysis & sensing","volume":"4 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/anse.202300066","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140454409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
