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)
