There is a high analytical demand for improving the detection sensitivity for various peptides in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI-IMS) because exhaustive distribution analyses of various peptides could help to reveal the function of peptides in vivo. To improve the sensitivity of peptide detection, we used supercritical fluid of CO2 (scCO2) as washing solvent for a pretreatment to remove lipids. We evaluated whether our wash method using scCO2 with an entrainer improved the detection of peptides and suppressed lipid detection in MALDI-IMS. Our analysis revealed that the signal intensities of peptides such as m/z 3339.8, 3530.9, 4233.3, 4936.7, and 4963.7 were increased in scCO2-washed samples. The greatest improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) was found at m/z 4963.7, which was identified as thymosin β4, with the S/N reaching almost 190-fold higher than the control. Additionally, all of the improved signals were associated with the morphologic structure. Our method allows us to analyze the distribution of molecules, especially in the region of m/z 3000?5200. For these improvements, the polarity difference between scCO2 and the matrix solution used was considered as a key. A wider variety of molecules can be analyzed in the future due to this improvement of the detection sensitivity by optimizing the polarity of scCO2 with various entrainers.
