Our recent developments concerning the fabrication of polymer microchips and their applications for biochemical analyses are reviewed. We first describe two methods of fabrication of polymer microfluidic chips, namely UV-laser photoablation and plasma etch ...
Ionization energies (IE) of [M + zH]z+ (z+) electrospray-produced polypeptides were detd. by electron ionization in a Penning cell of 4.7 and 9.4 .T Fourier transform mass spectrometers. For z = 1+ and substance P, the found IE value of 11.0+-0.4 eV is in ...
The first experimental observation of a radio frequency (rf) wave-induced particle pinch of trapped ions has been made in experiments at the Joint European Torus with nearly on-axis high power toroidally asymmetric ICRF (ion cyclotron range of frequencies) ...
In the scope of the study of low-frequency electrostatic microinstabilities in tokamak plasmas, attention has been focused on the effect of trapped ions. The ballooning transform has been applied to the gyrokinetic equation, for the case of a large aspect ...
We report on the investigation of refractive microlens arrays with diffractive grating surfaces in the context of a microspectrometer array system. The elements fabricated combine the fairly large dimensions of the refractive microlens (990-μm diam, 60-μm ...
Measurements of anions and cations are reported for hydrocarbon and silane radio frequency capacitive glow discharges. Series of anions were observed by quadrupole mass spectrometry using power-modulated plasmas, and their structures are interpreted from t ...
A review, with 9 refs., is given on trace element anal. by mass spectrometry (MS) and potentiometric stripping anal. (PSA). The key question of the problem is detn. of the structure of the samples (i.e. distribution functions and concns. of atoms, mols., c ...
Particle formation has been investigated experimentally from the initial molecular precursors up to the final micron-sized particles in a low pressure silane rf capacitive discharge. Neutrals and ions were studied by quadrupole mass spectrometry in power-m ...
The local three-dimensional (3-D) ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stability properties of a 12-field period torsatron device of moderate aspect ratio are investigated as a function of an externally applied quadrupole magnetic field. It is demonstrated that ...
Solutions of the strong complexing agent ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and Cu, Pb, Cd, Al, and Fe(III) were examined by electrospray mass spectrometry (ES/MS). Uncomplexed EDTA and metal-EDTA complexes survive the electrospray process intact and c ...
