Abstract

Applications of time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) were demonstrated, focusing on multivariate analysis (MVA)suchasprincipal componentanalysis(PCA),principal component regression (PCR), and maximum autocorrelation factors (MAF). Three main categories are presented in this report: quantitative analysis of protein and chemical derivatives, surface characterization of chemical composition, and image-based analysis in disease-related tissues. The use of MVA in a ToF-SIMS study showed improved data interpretation of chemicals or biomolecules on a surface, and consequently enabled the straightforward analysis of ToF-SIMS data. Even on biological samples with high complexity, the MVA method effectively contributed to obtaining valuable information, including chemical distribution of biomolecules. It is anticipated that MVA with ToF-SIMS data will be widely used for exploring biological studies in a reliable and simple way.
