A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20240035071A1) discloses a method for sample analysis involving a biological sample immobilized on a substrate. The method includes contacting the biological sample with a catalyst that catalyzes de-crosslinking of molecular crosslinks in the sample, with the catalyst being a specific compound as defined by formula (I). The molecular crosslinks are products of one or more crosslinking agents, such as aldehydes, including formaldehyde. The catalyst may consist of various compounds selected from a specific group. Additionally, the method involves using a solution or suspension containing the catalyst and a buffer, which may include sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), urea, and/or a proteinase.

Furthermore, the method includes the use of a labelling agent with a binding moiety, such as an antibody, or a detectable label. The process also involves a reporter oligonucleotide with a barcode sequence. The biological sample is analyzed for protein analytes, which can be intracellular, membrane-bound, or extracellular proteins. The optical signal generated during the analysis is detected in situ, with imaging techniques like fluorescent microscopy being utilized. Additionally, the biological sample is probed to identify the protein analyte associated with the labelling agent, either directly or indirectly through intermediate probes with barcode sequences. The method offers a comprehensive approach to sample analysis, particularly in identifying and studying various protein analytes within biological samples.
