  • Methods for determining a tumor margin in a tissue using a desorption electrospray ionization (desi) technique
    Patent number: 11397189
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to methods for analyzing a metabolite level in a sample. In certain embodiments, methods of the invention may involve obtaining a sample, analyzing the sample using a mass spectrometry technique to determine a level of at least one metabolite in the sample, and correlating the metabolite level with an originating source of the sample, thereby analyzing the sample.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 17, 2017
    Date of Patent: July 26, 2022
    Assignee: Purdue Research Foundation
    Inventors: Robert Graham Cooks, Kevin Scott Kerian, Alan Keith Jarmusch, Ahmed Mohamed Hamid, Livia Schiavinato Eberlin
