Gold nanoparticles (NPs) were useful nanomaterials for small analytes (e.g., glutathione); Pt nanosponges and Fe(3)O(4) NPs were efficient nanomaterials for proteins, with an upper detectable mass limit of ca. 25 kDa. Nanomaterials have several advantages over organic matrices, including lower limits of detection for small analytes and lower batch-to-batch variations (fewer problems associated with "sweet spots"), when used in laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry.enNANOPARTICLE MATRICES; AFFINITY PROBES; NANODOTS; CARBON; AUjournal article10.1016/j.jasms.2010.02.028204306432-s2.0-77953913300WOS:000279737200015https://scholars.lib.ntu.edu.tw/handle/123456789/356024
