PG - 128055 LID - S0304-3894(21)03024-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.128055 [doi] AB - Novel boronic acid-functionalized magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes with flexible branched polymer (Fe(3)O(4)@MWCNTs@epsilon-PL@BA) nanocomposites were fabricated and applied as the desorption/ionization matrix for the MALDI-TOF-MS determination of low molecular weight flavonoids. The prepared nanocomposite was systematically characterized by various techniques. Compared to the traditional organic matrix, the proposed Fe(3)O(4)@MWCNTs@epsilon-PL@BA matrix has excellent ionization efficiency and low-background noise interference due to the MWCNTs unique electron-phonon interaction and the high introduction density of boronic acid functional groups. Good sensitivity and ultra-high salt tolerance of the Fe(3)O(4)@MWCNTs@epsilon-PL@BA-assisted MALDI-TOF-MS were permitted for the determination and quantification of flavonoids in actual samples. Noticeably, the limits of detection (LODs) for the target flavonoids were in the range 17-33 nM. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of spot-to-spot and sample-to-sample (n = 10) were 0.99) of flavonoids were achieved by MALDI-TOF-MS with the Fe(3)O(4)@MWCNTs@epsilon-PL@BA matrix. Good recoveries (92-105.5%) were achieved for the target flavonoids in practical food samples. Hence, the prepared Fe(3)O(4)@MWCNTs@epsilon-PL@BA nanocomposites have applications in the selective and efficient capture of target flavonoids active biomolecules coupled with MALDI-TOF-MS determination in actual samples.
