Miniaturized nanoelectrospray interface for coupling capillary electrophoresis with mass spectrometry detection.

ABSTRACT: A miniaturized electrospray interface consisting of a microfluidic nanosprayer and nanospray module is reported in the presented short communication. The nanosprayer was fabricated using silicon (Si) technology suitable for cost-efficient high-volume mass production. The nanospray module enabled the positioning of the nanosprayer in front of a mass spectrometry entrance and its coupling with capillary electrophoresis based on the liquid junction principle. A case study of top-down and bottom-up proteomic analyses of intact cytochrome c and its tryptic digest demonstrates the practical applicability of the developed interface.
