Gold nanoparticles and imaging mass spectrometry: double imaging of latent fingerprints

Analytical Chemistry
Ho-Wai TangKwan-Ming Ng

Abstract

Latent fingerprint (LFP) detection is a top-priority task in forensic science. It is a simple and effective means for the identification of individuals. Development of nanomaterials which maximize the surface interaction with endogenous substances on the ridges to enhance the contrast of the fingerprints is an important application of nanotechnology in LFP detection. However, most developments in this area have mainly focused on the visualization of the physical pattern of the fingerprints and failed to explore the molecular information embedded in LFPs. Here, we have integrated certain distinctive properties of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with imaging mass spectrometry for both the visualization and molecular imaging of LFPs. Two contrasting colors (blue and pink), arising from different surface plasmon resonance (SPR) bands of the AuNPs, reveal the optical images of LFPs. The laser desorption/ionization property of the AuNPs allows the direct analysis of endogenous and exogenous compounds embedded in LFPs and imaging their distributions without disturbing the fingerprint patterns. The simultaneous visualization of LFP and the recording of its molecular images not only provide evidence on individual identity but also resolve ov...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide
