The present invention relates to the field of nanomaterial application technology, and more specifically, to the application of
mass spectrometry analysis of water-soluble
melanin nanoparticles modified with
bifunctional groups. The water-soluble
melanin nanoparticles modified with
bifunctional groups are MNP-PEG, with a particle size of 4nm to 5nm, uniform particle size, good monodispersity in water, strong
ultraviolet absorption ability at 355nm, and an
absorbance value of 0.35 to 0.56. In addition, the synthesis process is simple, the preparation cost is low, it is safe, non-toxic, and biodegradable. As a new matrix for matrix-assisted
laser desorption ionization time-of-flight
mass spectrometry, it can perform efficient
mass spectrometry analysis. When detecting
tetrabromobisphenol A series molecules, it has the advantages of low background interference peaks, high
ion intensity, high sensitivity, etc., and MNP-PEG can also be used for
mass spectrometry analysis of small molecules of environmental pollutants in food, which has potential significance for evaluating related
health problems caused by the intake of
tetrabromobisphenol A and its various derivatives through food.
