Microfluidic LC device with orthogonal sample extraction for on-chip MALDI-MS detection3
نویسندگان
چکیده
A microfluidic device that enables on-chip matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) detection for liquid chromatography (LC) separations is described. The device comprises an array of functional elements to carry out LC separations, integrates a novel microchip-MS interface to facilitate the orthogonal transposition of the microfluidic LC channel into an array of reservoirs, and enables sensitive MALDI-MS detection directly from the chip. Essentially, the device provides a snapshot MALDI-MS map of the content of the separation channel present on the chip. The detection of proteins with biomarker potential from MCF10A breast epithelial cell extracts, and detection limits in the low fmol range, are demonstrated. In addition, the design of the novel LC-MALDI-MS chip entices the promotion of a new concept for performing sample separations within the limited time-frame that accompanies the dead-volume of a separation channel.

متن کاملFlow-through Chip for Sequential Treatment and Analyte Elution from Beads or Cells
ABSTRACT A flow-through chip for sequential exchange and collection of up to five different liquids, surrounding either cells or microbeads has been developed. The presented device was successfully applied for wash and sequential elution of peptides bound to the surface of beads and cells. Collected fractions containg the eluted peptides were subsequently subjected to microfluidic solid phase e...
