摘要
The utility of two novel laser-based methods, laser ablation electrospray ionization (LAESI) and laser desorption ionization (LDI) from silicon nanopost array (NAPA), is explored via local analysis and mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) of hard tissues (tooth and hair) for the detection and mapping of organic components. Complex mass spectra are recorded in local analysis mode from tooth dentin and scalp hair samples. Nicotine and its metabolites (cotinine, hydroxycotinine, norcotinine, and nicotine) are detected by LAESI-MS in the teeth of rats exposed to tobacco smoke. The intensities of the detected metabolite peaks are proportional to the degree of exposure. Incorporating ion mobility separation in the LAESI-MS analysis of scalp hair enables the detection of cotinine in smoker hair along with other common molecular species, including endogenous steroid hormones and some lipids. Single hair strands are imaged by MALDI-MSI and NAPA-LDI-MSI to explore longitudinal variations in the level of small molecules. Comparing spectra integrated from NAPA-LDI-MSI and MALDI-MSI images reveals that the two techniques provide complementary information. There were 105 and 82 sample-related peaks for MALDI and NAPA, respectively, with an overlap of only 16 peaks, indicating a high degree of complementarity. Enhanced molecular coverage and spatial resolution offered by LAESI-MS and NAPA-LDI-MSI can reveal the distributions of known and potential biomarkers in hard tissues, facilitating exposome research.
