Size and isotope analysis of individual nanoparticles by multi-collector ICP-MS using "event-triggered signal capture" with a high-speed oscilloscope. Talanta 2024; 278:126540. [PMID: 39003837 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126540] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2024] [Revised: 07/04/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024]
Abstract
Accurate quantitative elemental and isotope analysis of nanoparticles at the single-particle level is crucial for better understanding their origin, properties and behaviors. Single particle inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (spICP-MS) has emerged as a promising technique for nanoparticle analysis. However, challenges persist in obtaining accurate and consistent element profiles and ratios for small-sized nanoparticles by conventional quadrupole (QMS) or time-of-flight mass analyzers (TOF-MS) due to their low level and transient nature. In this paper, we present a novel analytical method for single nanoparticle analysis using multiple collector ICP-MS (MC-ICP-MS) combined with a modern high-speed digital oscilloscope. The single particle events are acquired using an "event-triggered signal capture" (ETSC) technique, which enables the simultaneously capture and visualization of multiple isotopes of transient individual particle profiles with nanosecond time resolution. This greatly facilitates precise and efficient analysis of nanoparticles. The minimum detectable particle size is calculated to be as small as 8 nm (∼1 ag 109Ag) for AgNPs. Based on the 109/107Ag ratios obtained from 2000 particles, the precisions of 109/107Ag ratio measurements on 20 nm, 40 nm, 60 nm, 80 nm and 100 nm were approximately 0.086 (SD), 0.063 (SD), 0.051 (SD), 0.040 (SD), and 0.029 (SD), which is limited by counting statistics of the isotopic signals. Furthermore, the achieved standard error of 109/107Ag can be reduced to sub-permil level (0.7 ‰) even for the measurement of 20 nm AgNPs (N = 17,000). These results demonstrate that the ETSC provides a unique method for isotope analysis of single particles, holding great potential for enhancing our understanding of nanoparticles.

Abstract
Nanosized ultrafine particles (UFPs) from natural and anthropogenic sources are widespread and pose serious health risks when inhaled by humans. However, tracing the inhaled UFPs in vivo is extremely difficult, and the distribution, translocation, and metabolism of UFPs remain unclear. Here, we report a label-free, machine learning-aided single-particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spICP-MS) approach for tracing the exposure pathways of airborne magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs), including external emission sources, and distribution and translocation in vivo using a mouse model. Our results provide quantitative analysis of different metabolic pathways in mice exposed to MNPs, revealing that the spleen serves as the primary site for MNP metabolism (84.4%), followed by the liver (11.4%). The translocation of inhaled UFPs across different organs alters their particle size. This work provides novel insights into the in vivo fate of UFPs as well as a versatile and powerful platform for nanotoxicology and risk assessment.

Abstract
The hyphenation of HPLC with its high separation ability and ICP-MS with its excellent sensitivity, allows the analysis of Pt drugs in biological samples at the low nanomolar concentration levels. On the other hand, LC-MS provides molecular structural confirmation for each species. Using a combination of these methods, we have investigated the speciation of the photoactive anticancer complex diazido Pt(IV) complex trans, trans, trans-[Pt(N3)2(OH)2(py)2] (FM-190) in aqueous solution and biofluids at single-digit nanomolar concentrations before and after irradiation. FM-190 displays high stability in human blood plasma in the dark at 37 °C. Interestingly, the polyhydroxido species [{PtIV(py)2(OH)4} + Na]+ and [{PtIV(py)2(N3)(OH)3} + Na]+ resulting from the replacement of azido ligands, as determined by LC-MS, were the major products after photoirradiation of FM-190 with blue light (463 nm). This finding suggests that such photosubstituted Pt(IV) tri- and tetra-hydroxido species could play important roles in the biological activity of this anticancer complex. Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time-Dependent DFT (TDDFT) calculations show that these Pt(IV) species arising from FM-190 in aqueous media can be formed directly from a singlet excited state. The results highlight how speciation analysis (metallomics) can shed light on photoactivation pathways for FM-190 and formation of potential excited-state pharmacophores. The ability to detect and identify photoproducts at physiologically-relevant concentrations in cells and tissues will be important for preclinical development studies of this class of photoactivatable platinum drugs.

Abstract
Thyroid nodules (TNs) have emerged as the most prevalent endocrine disorder in China. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) remains the standard diagnostic method for assessing TN malignancy, although a majority of FNA results indicate benign conditions. Balancing diagnostic accuracy while mitigating overdiagnosis in patients with benign nodules poses a significant clinical challenge. Precise, noninvasive, and high-throughput screening methods for high-risk TN diagnosis are highly desired but remain less explored. Developing such approaches can improve the accuracy of noninvasive methods like ultrasound imaging and reduce overdiagnosis of benign nodule patients caused by invasive procedures. Herein, we investigate the application of gold-doped zirconium-based metal-organic framework (ZrMOF/Au) nanostructures for metabolic profiling of thyroid diseases. This approach enables the efficient extraction of urine metabolite fingerprints with high throughput, low background noise, and reproducibility. Utilizing partial least-squares discriminant analysis and four machine learning models, including neural network (NN), random forest (RF), logistic regression (LR), and support vector machine (SVM), we achieved an enhanced diagnostic accuracy (98.6%) for discriminating thyroid cancer (TC) from low-risk TNs by using a diagnostic panel. Through the analysis of metabolic differences, potential pathway changes between benign nodule and malignancy are identified. This work explores the potential of rapid thyroid disease screening using the ZrMOF/Au-assisted LDI-MS platform, providing a potential method for noninvasive screening of thyroid malignant tumors. Integrating this approach with imaging technologies such as ultrasound can enhance the reliability of noninvasive diagnostic methods for malignant tumor screening, helping to prevent unnecessary invasive procedures and reducing the risk of overdiagnosis and overtreatment in patients with benign nodules.

Abstract
The sulfidation is considered as one of the most important environmental transformation processes of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), which affects their transport, uptake and toxicity. Herein, based on the hollow fiber flow-field flow fractionation coupled with triple quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HF5-ICP-QQQ), we developed an efficient approach to accurately characterize the sulfidation process of AgNPs in aquatic solutions. HF5 could efficiently remove interferential ions and separate nanoparticles with different sizes online, and ICP-QQQ could accurately detect S element through monitoring 32S16O+ in mass shift mode. By the proposed method, two kinds of AgNPs, citrate-coated AgNPs and PVP-coated AgNPs, were selected as models to trace their transfer behaviors during the sulfidation. The results showed once AgNPs were exposed to Na2S solution, the overlapping fractograms of 32S16O+ and 107Ag+ were rapidly detected by HF5-ICP-QQQ to indicate the co-presence of Ag and S, and thus confirming the production of Ag2S and AgNPs underwent a rapid sulfidation process. There were substantial differences in the influence of the two coated agents on the stability of the particles under the conditions examined. In the presence of sulfide, PVP-coated AgNPs could maintain initial size distribution with higher stability, while the size distribution of citrate-coated AgNPs changed considerably. The developed HF5-ICP-QQQ method provides a reliable tool to identify and characterize the transformation process of AgNPs in aquatic solution, which contributed to a deeper understanding of the environmental fate and behavior of AgNPs with different coating.

Abstract
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. Among the available alternatives to achieve this information, mass spectrometry, and more concretely, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), has emerged as an appealing option. This work critically reviews the valuable contribution of ICP-MS-based techniques to investigate NP toxicity and their transformations during in vitro and in vivo toxicological assays. Various ICP-MS modalities, such as total elemental analysis, single particle or single-cell modes, and coupling with separation techniques, as well as the potential of laser ablation as a spatially resolved sample introduction approach, are explored and discussed. Moreover, this review addresses limitations, novel trends, and perspectives in the field of nanotoxicology, particularly concerning NP internalization and pathways. These processes encompass cellular uptake and quantification, localization, translocation to other cell compartments, and biological transformations. By leveraging the capabilities of ICP-MS, researchers can gain deeper insights into the behaviour and effects of NPs, which can pave the way for safer and more responsible use of these materials.

Abstract
The widespread application of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is seriously hindered by their structural instability and it is still very challenging to probe the stability of MOFs during application by current techniques. Here, we report a novel structure-responsive mass spectrometry (SRMS) imaging technique to probe the stability of MOFs. We discovered that intact CuBTC (as a model of MOFs) could generate the characteristic peaks of organic ligands and carbon cluster anions in laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry, but these peaks were significantly changed when the structure of CuBTC was dissociated, thus enabling a label-free probing of the stability. Furthermore, SRMS can be performed in imaging mode to visualize the degradation kinetics and reveal the spatial heterogeneity of the stability of CuBTC. This technique was successfully applied in different application scenarios (in water, moist air, and CO2) and also validated with different MOFs. It thus provides a versatile new tool for better design and application of environment-sensitive materials.

Abstract
Edema represents a notable outcome in fishes exposed to aquatic pollutants, yet the underlying etiology remains inadequately understood. This investigation delves into the etiological factors of edema formation in 7 days post fertilization (dpf) zebrafish larvae following their exposure to InP/ZnS quantum dots (QDs), which was chosen as a prototypical edema inducer. Given the fundamental role of the kidney in osmoregulation, we used transgenic zebrafish lines featuring fluorescent protein labeling of the glomerulus, renal tubule, and blood vessels, in conjunction with histopathological scrutiny. We identified the pronounced morphological and structural aberrations within the pronephros. By means of tissue mass spectrometry imaging and hyperspectral microscopy, we discerned the accumulation of InP/ZnS QDs in the pronephros. Moreover, InP/ZnS QDs impeded the renal clearance capacity of the pronephros, as substantiated by diminished uptake of FITC-dextran. InP/ZnS QDs also disturbed the expression levels of marker genes associated with kidney development and osmoregulatory function at the earlier time points, which preceded the onset of edema. These results suggest that impaired fluid clearance most likely resulting from pronephros injury contributes to the emergence of zebrafish edema. Briefly, our study provides a perspective: the kidney developmental injury induced by exogenous substances may regulate edema in a zebrafish model.

Abstract
Elemental carbon (EC) and organic carbon (OC) exist ubiquitously and interact mutually in the environment. Simultaneous analysis of EC and OC will greatly advance our understanding of the behavior and fate of EC and OC, but is however still a great challenge due to the lack of suitable analytical tools. Here, we report a matrix-free laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) method capable of simultaneous analysis of EC and OC by monitoring two independent groups of specific MS fingerprint peaks. We found that EC itself can generate carbon cluster peaks in the low mass range under laser excitation, and meanwhile it can also serve as a matrix to assist the ionization of OC in LDI-MS. By using per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) as a typical set of OC and carbon black (CB) as a model EC, we successfully monitored the adsorption process of PFASs on CB enabled by LDI-MS. We show that hydrophobic interaction dominates the sorption of PFASs to CB, which was affected by the functional groups and carbon chain length of PFASs. Furthermore, environmental substances in water such as humic acid (HA) and surfactants can significantly affect the adsorption of PFASs on CB probably by changing the adsorption sites of CB. Overall, we demonstrate that LDI-MS offers a versatile and high-throughput tool for simultaneous analysis of EC and OC species in real environmental samples, which makes it promising for investigating the environmental behaviors and ecological risks of pollutants.

Abstract
Understanding the molecular mechanism of material transformation raises a great challenge for material characterization techniques. As a promising 2D material, the application potential of black phosphorus (BP) is seriously compromised by its environmental instability. However, until now, the degradation mechanism of BP remains ambiguous. Here we show that by using laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) fingerprinting it is possible to unravel the degradation pathways of BP at the molecular level without any chemical labeling. We found that BP-based materials can generate intrinsic phosphorus cluster (Pn+ or Pn-) fingerprint peaks in LDI-MS in both positive-ion and negative-ion modes, which allows the degradation processes of BP materials to be monitored by providing abundant mass information about intermediates and products with the sample-to-sample RSDs in the range of 1.0-28.4%. The stability of BP or cerium-encapsulated BP was monitored under ambient and increased temperature conditions for up to 20 or 180 days. Notably, by using LDI-MS fingerprinting, we reveal an unreported BP degradation pathway, i.e., nitrogen (N2)-addition oxidation, in addition to the direct oxidation pathway. Our results not only enable an in-depth understanding of the chemical instability of BP, but also, importantly, demonstrate a new powerful platform for monitoring and characterization of material transformation.

Abstract
The potential risk of various silver-containing nanoparticles (AgCNPs) in soils is related to the concentration, size, and speciation, but their determination remains a great challenge. Herein, we developed an effective method for determining the particle number, size, and species of dominant AgCNPs in soils, including nanoparticles of silver (Ag NPs), silver chloride (AgCl NPs), and silver sulfide (Ag2S NPs). By ultrasonication wand-assisted tetrasodium pyrophosphate extraction, these AgCNPs were extracted efficiently from soils. Then, multistep selective dissolution of Ag NPs, AgCl NPs, and whole Ag NPs/AgCl NPs/Ag2S NPs was achieved by 1% (v/v) H2O2, 5% (v/v) NH3·H2O, and 10 mM thiourea in 2% (v/v) acetic acid, respectively. Finally, the particle number concentration and size distribution of AgCNPs in the extracts and the remaining AgCNP particle number concentration after each dissolution were determined by single-particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy for speciation of the dominant AgCNPs. AgCNPs were detected in all five soil samples with the concentrations of 0.23-8.00 × 107 particles/g and sizes of 16-110 nm. Ag2S NPs were the main form of AgCNPs in the examined soils with the percentage range of 53.98-69.19%, followed by AgCl NPs (11.42-23.31%) and Ag NPs (7.78-16.19%). Our method offers a new approach for evaluating the occurrence and potential risk of AgCNPs in environmental soils.

Abstract
Simultaneous imaging of exogenous nanomaterials and endogenous metabolites in situ remains challenging and is beneficial for a systemic understanding of the biological behavior of nanomaterials at the molecular level. Here, combined with label-free mass spectrometry imaging, visualization and quantification of the aggregation-induced emission nanoparticles (NPs) in tissue were realized as well as related endogenous spatial metabolic changes simultaneously. Our approach enables us to identify the heterogeneous deposition and clearance behavior of nanoparticles in organs. The accumulation of nanoparticles in normal tissues results in distinct endogenous metabolic changes such as oxidative stress as indicated by glutathione depletion. The low passive delivery efficiency of nanoparticles to tumor foci suggested that the enrichment of NPs in tumors did not benefit from the abundant tumor vessels. Moreover, spatial-selective metabolic changes upon NPs mediated photodynamic therapy was identified, which enables understanding of the NPs induced apoptosis in the process of cancer therapy. This strategy allows us to simultaneously detect exogenous nanomaterials and endogenous metabolites in situ, hence to decipher spatial selective metabolic changes in drug delivery and cancer therapy processes.

Abstract
Micro/nanoplastics (MNPs) are widespread environmental pollutants that cause high health risks. However, high heterogeneity in particle sizes and chemical compositions of MNPs make their accurate characterization extremely challenging. Herein, we established a matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (MALDI-FTICR MS) strategy for the unambiguous characterization of different types of MNPs with high performance, including polystyrene, polyethylene glycol terephthalate, polyamide, polymethyl methacrylate, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymer, and polycarbonate. The MNP sample preparation and detection conditions were systematically optimized by using response surface methodology, and the MS detection signal-to-noise ratios were improved 1.5 times on average. The ultrahigh mass resolution of FTICR MS is crucial to the unambiguous elucidation of MNP structures. We demonstrate that this MS strategy is highly efficient in the characterization of polymer constitutions of environmental MNPs derived from foam, bottles, cable ties, and compact discs, providing a promising tool for MNP detection and safety evaluation.

Abstract
Analysis and characterization of naturally occurring and engineered nanomaterials in the environment are critical for understanding their environmental behaviors and defining real exposure scenarios for environmental risk assessment. However, this is challenging primarily due to the low concentration, structural heterogeneity, and dynamic transformation of nanomaterials in complex environmental matrices. In this critical review, we first summarize sample pretreatment methods developed for separation and preconcentration of nanomaterials from environmental samples, including natural waters, wastewater, soils, sediments, and biological media. Then, we review the state-of-the-art microscopic, spectroscopic, mass spectrometric, electrochemical, and size-fractionation methods for determination of mass and number abundance, as well as the morphological, compositional, and structural properties of nanomaterials, with discussion on their advantages and limitations. Despite recent advances in detecting and characterizing nanomaterials in the environment, challenges remain to improve the analytical sensitivity and resolution and to expand the method applications. It is important to develop methods for simultaneous determination of multifaceted nanomaterial properties for in situ analysis and characterization of nanomaterials under dynamic environmental conditions and for detection of nanoscale contaminants of emerging concern (e.g., nanoplastics and biological nanoparticles), which will greatly facilitate the standardization of nanomaterial analysis and characterization methods for environmental samples.

Abstract
After 40 years of development, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) can hardly be considered as a novel technique anymore. ICP-MS has become the reference when it comes to multi-element bulk analysis at (ultra)trace levels, as well as to isotope ratio determination for metal(loid)s. However, over the last decade, this technique has managed to uncover an entirely new application field, providing information in a variety of contexts related to the individual analysis of single entities (e.g., nanoparticles, cells, or micro/nanoplastics), thus addressing new societal challenges. And this profound expansion of its application range becomes even more remarkable when considering that it has been made possible in an a priori simple way: by providing faster data acquisition and developing the corresponding theoretical substrate to relate the time-resolved signals thus obtained with the elemental composition of the target entities. This review presents the underlying concepts behind single event-ICP-MS, which are needed to fully understand its potential, highlighting key areas of application (e.g., single particle-ICP-MS or single cell-ICP-MS) as well as of future development (e.g., micro/nanoplastics).
