Published: March 2024

Since its commercial introduction in the 1980s, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has evolved to become arguably the most versatile and powerful technique for the multi-elemental and multi-isotopic analysis of metals, metalloids, and selected non-metals at ultratrace levels [...].

The extensive application of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) in several fields has significantly impacted our daily lives. Nonetheless, uncertainties persist regarding the toxicity and potential risks associated with the vast number of NPs entering the environment and human bodies, so the performance of toxicological studies are highly demanded. While traditional assays focus primarily on the effects, the comprehension of the underlying processes requires innovative analytical approaches that can detect, characterize, and quantify NPs in complex biological matrices.

An efficient strategy utilizing μ-thin layer chromatography coupled with laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (μ-TLC-LA-ICP-MS) based on an IIP (ion imprinted polymer) was developed for the speciation of inorganic arsenic [As(III) and As(V)]. The characterization of the fabricated IIP was performed applying Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). To prepare the thin layer chromatography plate, CaSO (as a binder) was incorporated with the IIP.

The development of nanotechnology has transformed many cutting-edge studies related to single-molecule analysis into nanoparticle (NP) detection with a single-NP sensitivity and ultrahigh resolution. While laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) has been successful in quantifying and tracking NPs, its quantitative calibration remains a major challenge due to the lack of suitable standards and the uncertain matrix effects. Herein, we frame a new approach to prepare quantitative standards via precise synthesis of NPs, nanoscale characterization, on-demand NP distribution, and deep learning-assisted NP counting.
