摘要:
A fabrication and adhesion method for a polyaryl-ether-ketone (PAEK) device, such as a microfluidic device (400), is disclosed. At least one glassy uncrystallized PAEK substrate (250) is heated up to near or above the glass transition temperature to allow the substrate (250) to crystallize from the glass state, while embossing the substrate (250) with patterns (325). Bonding the PAEK substrate (250) to another substrate (255) is accomplished using a solvent-resistant adhesive (270), such as a polyimide-based adhesive, in combination with an adhesion enhancement treatment. In certain embodiments, the adhesion enhancement treatment is a plasma treatment or a chemical sulfonation treatment.

摘要:
An ion source for an analytical instrument is described. The ion source comprises a capillary tip (105) and counter-electrode (103) interface and a feedback loop control device (400) connected to the capillary tip and counter-electrode interface. The feedback loop control device comprises a transimpedance amplifier (401), a DC de-coupler (403), a frequency to voltage converter (405), a controller (407), and a voltage-controlled high-voltage power supply (409) that provides a tip to counter-electrode voltage to the capillary tip and counter-electrode interface. The feedback loop control device measures the modulation frequency of ionization currents and provides a feedback adjustment of the tip-to-counter-electrode voltage to maintain ionization efficiency.
摘要:
A miniaturized planar device is described for use in a liquid phase analysis system. The device comprises a separation compartment that is in fluidic communication with a make-up flow channel and a channel compartment that terminates in a on-device mass spectrometer delivery means. The device is formed by microfabrication of microstructures in novel support substrates. The invention herein is used for the analysis of small and/or macromolecular and/or other solutes in the liquid phase.
