Revealing Individual Lifestyles through Mass Spectrometry Imaging of Chemical Compounds in Fingerprints

Title: Revealing Individual Lifestyles through Mass Spectrometry Imaging of Chemical Compounds in Fingerprints

Fingerprints, specifcally the ridge details within the print, have long been used in forensic 
investigations for individual identifcation. Beyond the ridge detail, fngerprints contain useful chemical 
information. The study of fngerprint chemical information has become of interest, especially with mass 
spectrometry imaging technologies. Mass spectrometry imaging visualizes the spatial relationship of 
each compound detected, allowing ridge detail and chemical information in a single analysis. In this 
work, a range of exogenous fngerprint compounds that may reveal a personal lifestyle were studied 
using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI). Studied 
chemical compounds include various brands of bug sprays and sunscreens, as well as food oils, alcohols, 
and citrus fruits. Brand diferentiation and source determination were possible based on the active 
ingredients or exclusive compounds left in fngerprints. Tandem mass spectrometry was performed for 
the key compounds, so that these compounds could be confdently identifed in a single multiplex mass 
spectrometry imaging data acquisition.
Fingerprints consist of ridges and valleys that form a pattern unique to the individual. Te sweat and chemical 
residues present on a fnger can leave ridge detail, or a latent fngerprint, on objects and surfaces encountered 
by the fngers. Latent fngerprints have provided evidentiary value in forensic investigations for over a century, 
mainly as a means of identifcation through pattern comparison. As technology and science have advanced, so has 
the collection and interpretation of evidence within latent fngerprints. Chemical compounds in the residue con￾tain detailed information about the individual depositing the fngerprint. Chromatography and mass spectrome￾try coupled methods, such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and gas chromatography-mass 
spectrometry (GC-MS), provide chemical fngerprint information, but typically require multiple fngerprints 
with no spatially relevant information1–3
