An antibody-graphene oxide nanoribbon conjugate as a surface enhanced laser desorption/ionization probe with high sensitivity and selectivity†
Abstract
Graphene oxide nanoribbons (GONRs) were covalently functionalized with an antibody using polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a linker to produce a novel probe for surface enhanced laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (SELDI MS). This probe provides a highly sensitive and selective platform for enrichment and MS detection of small molecules in complex media.
