MICROCHIPS WITH INTEGRATED MULTIPLE ELECTROSPRAY IONIZATION EMITTERS AND RELATED METHODS, SYSTEMS AND DEVICES

摘要

Microchips which are particularly suitable for use with a mass spectrometer include a microchip body with at least one fluid channel formed into the microchip body and at least two flat monolithic closely spaced integrated ESI (electrospray ionization) emitters defined by shaped projections formed to extend from one side of the microchip body, a respective one being in fluid communication with a fluid channel. Related systems and methods are also described.
