Nanomaterials have emerging importance in laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (LDI–MS) with the ultimate objective being to overcome some of the most important limitations intrinsically related to the use of conventional organic matrices in matrix-assisted (MA) LDI–MS. This review provides a critical overview of the most recent literature on the use of gold nanomaterials as non-conventional desorption ionization promoters in LDI– MS, with particular emphasis on bioanalytical applications. Old seminal papers will also be discussed to provide a timeline of the most significant achievements in the field. Future prospects and research needs are also briefly discussed.

Abstract

Nanomaterials have emerging importance in laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (LDI–MS) with the ultimate objective being to overcome some of the most important limitations intrinsically related to the use of conventional organic matrices in matrix-assisted (MA) LDI–MS. This review provides a critical overview of the most recent literature on the use of gold nanomaterials as non-conventional desorption ionization promoters in LDI– MS, with particular emphasis on bioanalytical applications. Old seminal papers will also be discussed to provide a timeline of the most significant achievements in the field. Future prospects and research needs are also briefly discussed.
