Abrin toxin, highly dangerous with an estimated human lethal dose of 0.1–1 μg per kg body weight, has attracted much attention regarding criminal and terroristic misuse over the past decade. Therefore, developing a rapid detection method for abrin toxin is of great significance in the field of biosecurity. In this study, based on the specific dissociation method of an immobilized enzyme reactor, the trypsin immobilized reactor Fe3O4@CTS–GA–Try was prepared to replace free trypsin, and the immobilized enzyme digestion process was systematically investigated and optimized by using bovine serum albumin as the simulant of abrin. After 5 min one-step denaturation and reduction, a satisfactory peptide number and coverage were yielded with only 15 s assisted by an ultrasound probe to identify model proteins. Subsequently, abrin was rapidly digested using the established method, resulting in a stable and highly reproducible characteristic peptide number of 39, which can be analyzed by nanoelectrospray ionization coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry. With the acquisition mode of full MS scan coupled with PRM, not only MS spectroscopy of total abrin peptides but also the corresponding MS/MS spectroscopy of specific abrin peptides can achieve the characteristic detection of abrin toxin and its different isoforms in less than 10 minutes, with high repeatability. This assay provides a universal platform and has great potential for the development of on-site detection and rapid mass spectrometric analysis techniques for macromolecular protein toxins and can further be applied to the integrated detection of chemical and biological agents.
