Amazing

Thank you for the video, could you please clarify the better methods to preserve our samples for good analysis by MaldiTof, and if there is an opportunity for working in his lab with this technique and with my samples of sandflies and parasite of leishmaniasis

[@maratmakenov1288]

Thank you for your video. Could you please clarify the value of formic acid and the matrix per a sample

[@BernardJenni]

Thanks for your interest. I have now added the reference of the publication in the description field below the video.

May I ask if it was critical to keep the ticks at 13C? Or room temp is ok?

[@BernardJenni]

I think 13°C is just another way of saying fridge. In the case of long-term storage, samples are usually put in the fridge because the ambient temperature may fluctuate greatly. Thanks for your visit!

Hello Khush,
Ethanol 70% or more is quick and simple for preservation. Concerning the making of histological slides, I don't know. With best wishes.
