title: Laser desorption ionization mass spectrometric imaging of mass barcoded gold nanoparticles for security applications.
abstract: Patterns created by the inkjet printing of functionalized gold nanoparticles (NPs) can be selectively detected by laser desorption/ionization imaging mass spectrometry (LDI-IMS). These patterns can only be visualized by mass, providing a robust yet tunable system for potential anti-counterfeiting applications.
