We demonstrate continuous-wave laser-based ambient mass spectrometry imaging with the use of a gold-nanoparticle layer substrate. When a fresh tissue slice is placed on a gold-nanoparticle layer substrate and irradiated with a 532-nm continuous-wave laser, the transmission-mode laser configuration provides precise desorption performance to facilitate mass spectrometry imaging. The subsequent ionization process with nonthermal atmospheric pressure plasma jets generates sufficient amounts of molecular ions. By using this method, micrometer-spatial-resolution mass spectrometry imaging of humid tissues can be obtained. The gold-nanoparticle layer substrates can be prepared and stored in advance of the experiment, resulting in simplified specimen preparation and an advantage in faster preparing of fresh tissue specimen for analysis.

Food safety issues caused by pesticide residue have exerted far-reaching impacts on human daily life, yet the available detection methods normally focus on surface residue rather than pesticide penetration to the internal area of foods. Herein, we demonstrated gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-immersed paper imprinting mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) for monitoring pesticide migration behaviors in various fruits and vegetables (i.e., apple, cucumber, pepper, plum, carrot, and strawberry). By manually stamping food tissues onto AuNP-immersed paper, this method affords the spatiotemporal visualization of insecticides and fungicides within fruits and vegetables, avoiding tedious and time-consuming sample preparation. Using the established MSI platform, we can track the migration of insecticides and fungicides into the inner region of foods. The results revealed that both the octanol-water partition coefficient of pesticides and water content of garden stuffs could influence the discrepancy in the migration speed of pesticides into food kernels. Taken together, this nanopaper imprinting MSI is poised to be a powerful tool because of its simplicity, rapidity, and easy operation, offering the potential to facilitate further applications in food analysis. Moreover, new perspectives are given to provide guidelines for the rational design of novel pesticide candidates, reducing the risk of food safety issues caused by pesticide residue.
