2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) is employed for the first time as a matrix for the analysis of lipids from tissue extracts using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. We demonstrate that the performance of MBT is superior to that of the matrixes commonly employed for lipids, due to its low vapor pressure, its low acidity, and the formation of small crystals, although because of the strong background at low m/z, it precludes detection of species below similar to 500 Da. This inconvenience can be partly overcome with the formation of Cs adducts. Using a polymer-based dual calibration, a mass accuracy of similar to 10 ppm in lipid extracts and of similar to 80 ppm in tissues is achieved. We present spectra from liver and brain lipid extracts where a large amount of lipid species is identified, in both positive and negative ion modes, with high reproducibility. In addition, the above-mentioned special properties of MBT allow its employment for imaging mass spectrometry. In the present work, images of brain and liver tissues showing different lipid species are presented, demonstrating the advantages of the employment of MBT.
