The spatial-omic analysis of biomolecules such as nucleic acids, lipids, metabolites, and proteins is advancing the study of biological systems and processes in a physio-pathological context. Here, we describe an innovative matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI) method to detect metals within biological tissues using instrumentation that is widely available in research and clinical laboratories. We characterize the spatial distribution of metals in diverse settings including mouse embryogenesis, genetic disorders leading to abnormal metal accumulation, and preclinical testing for improved platinum-based chemotherapy delivery through focused ultrasound across the blood-brain barrier. Spatial metal profiling will advance research studies and the clinical analysis of metal-related diseases, enabling more precise use of metal-based therapies and advances in diverse scientific fields beyond biomedicine. One-Sentence SummarySpatial metallomic profiling maps native metals or those coordinated to xenobiotics, antibodies, and biomolecules in tissues.
