Nanofluidics Sharpens Mass Spectrometry's Sensitivity to Ultrasmall Samples - AZoNano

A new study discusses an analytical pretreatment method based on a nanofluidic device to downsize the chemical unit operations to the range of femtoliter to picolitre volume in mass spectrometry.

Single-cell level protein analysis utilizing mass spectrometry (MS) with picolitre sample volumes needs sensitivity in the range of zeptomole to attomole. An article published recently in the journal… [+6203 chars]
