On-Chip Spyhole Nanoelectrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry for Sensitive Biomarker Detection in Small Volumes

Hubert Girault, Xiaoqin Zhong, Liang Qiao, Géraldine Margaretha Alice Stauffer

A polyimide microfluidic chip with a microhole emitter (Ø 10–12 μm) created on top of a microchannel by scanning laser ablation has been designed for nanoelectrospray ionization (spyhole-nanoESI) to couple microfluidics with mass spectrometry. The spyhole- ...

Electrostatic Spray Ionization Mass Spectrometry Imaging

Hubert Girault, Horst Vogel, Horst Pick, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Liang Qiao, Alexandra Bondarenko, Elena Tobolkina, Xiaoqin Zhong

Imaging samples on a surface by mass spectrometry (MS) requires the combination of MS detection with a scanning mode that enables localized desorption and ionization and/or detection of sample analytes with good spatial resolution. We have developed a new ...
