Laser desorption ionization mass spectrometric imaging of mass barcoded gold nanoparticles for security applications

Abstract

Patterns created by the inkjet printing of functionalized gold nanoparticles (NPs) can be selectively detected by laser desorption/ionization imaging mass spectrometry (LDI-IMS). These patterns can only be visualized by mass, providing a robust yet tunable system for potential anti-counterfeiting applications.
