摘要
A novel microfabricated multichannel emitter for electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) was implemented with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) using a soft lithography technique. The emitters are formed as electrospray tips along a thin membrane on the edge of the device with channels of 100 mum X 30 mum dimensions. The electrospray performance of the PDMS emitters for a single channel device and a four channel device interfaced with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer was evaluated for detecting the molecular weight of reference peptides (angiotensin I and bradykinin). The emitters were durable at the flow rate of 1-20 muL min-l for more than 30 h of continuous electrospray with limit of detection of 1 muM (S/N 18). This microfabrication method for a PDMS multichannel emitter as an integral part of a microfluidic device will facilitate development of more complex microfluidic analysis systems using ESI-MS.
