ABSTRACT
Paper-based analytical devices (PADs) have encountered a wealth of applications in recent years thanks to the numerous advantages of paper as a support. A silver nanoflower (AgNF) modified paper-based dual substrate for both surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and ambient pressure paper spray mass spectrometry (PS-MS) was developed. AgNFs were immobilized on nylon-coated paper modified with silver and ethylenediamine. The developed substrate was characterized via scanning electron microscopy and infrared spectroscopy. The densely packed nanoscale petals of the AgNFs lead to a large number of so-called hot spots at their overlapping points, which result in an enhancement of the Raman signal. In addition, the presence of the AgNFs produces an increase in the sensitivity of the mass spectrometric analysis as compared with bare paper and nylon/Ag-coated paper. The dual substrate was evaluated for the identification and quantification of ketoprofen in aqueous standards as well as human saliva from healthy volunteers. The method enables the determination of ketoprofen with a limit of detection and limit of quantification via PS-MS of 0.023 and 0.076 mg L-1, respectively, with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 3.4% at a concentration of 0.1 mg L-1. This dual substrate enables the simple and fast detection of ketoprofen with minimal sample preparation, providing complementary Raman and mass spectrometric information. Graphical abstract.
