Introduction
Proteomics of small volumes of biological samples down to single cells has progressed rapidly. However, the sensitivity and reproducibility of ultralow flow LC-MS for proteomics remains a challenge. We developed a silicon-based, plug-and-play, nanoflow MEA chip to directly address this challenge. Our MEA chip monolithically integrates an LC column, an ESI emitter, and a post-column inlet (PCI). Employing silicon-based monolithic fabrication … (Read More)

Introduction
Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) is the enabling technology for global-scale analysis of proteins (proteomics). Nanoflow LC-MS (flow rate < 1 µL/min) is routinely used to achieve high sensitivity for identifying and quantifying thousands of peptides and proteins in small volumes of biological samples, but lacks robustness and throughput (i.e., speed). By contrast, microflow LC-MS ( ow rate 1-50 µL/min) typically achieves higher … (Read More)

Introduction
Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) is the enabling technology for the global-scale analysis of proteins (proteomics). In order to identify and quantify peptides and proteins in small volumes of biological samples, nanoflow LC-MS (flow rate < 1 mL/min) is routinely used in order to achieve high sensitivity. However, nanoflow LC-MS lacks robustness and throughput (i.e., speed). On the other hand, high-flow LC-MS … (Read More)

Introduction
Native mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a valuable technique for the characterization of protein conformations and protein complexes that have non-covalently bonded components [1]. This approach has been routinely used in monoclonal antibodies (mAb) analysis, such as therapeutic antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), biosimilars, and bispecific mAbs. Currently high-flow size exclusion chromatography (SEC)-MS has been widely used for native MS analysis … (Read More)

Introduction
The sensitivity of liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) increases significantly with a decreasing column diameter and reduced flow rates. The relationship has been shown to follow a power-law function empirically [1]. As a result, microflow LC-MS has benefits with increased sensitivity, reduced sample, and solvent consumption, and decreased matrix effects, compared to conventional high-flow LC-MS. However, it still lacks … (Read More)

Introduction
Oligonucleotide therapeutics including single-stranded antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and double-stranded siRNAs are rapidly growing. Compared to traditional hybridization-based methods such as ELISA and PCR, mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of oligonucleotide is more specific because it can discriminate and quantify not only the full-length products but also their impurities and metabolites. High-flow ion-pairing reversed-phase chromatography has become the LC method of choice for … (Read More)
