Microfluidic devices provide substances to a mass spectrometer. The microfluidic devices include first and second surfaces, at least one microchannel formed by the surfaces, and an outlet at an edge of the surfaces which is recessed back from an adjacent portion of the edge. Hydrophilic surfaces and/or hydrophobic surfaces guide substances out of the outlet. A source of electrical potential can help move substances through the microchannel, separate substances and/or provide electrospray ionization.
摘要:
An automated electrospray ionization (ESI) device and related methods to optimize electrospray interface conditions for mass spectrometric analysis. The optimization process can be performed with calibration or optimization solutions that produce expected ESI parameters such as an ESI signal or an ion current. The ESI device may include an input/output (I/O) controller that is coupled to an electrospray assembly including an XYZ stage for positioning an electrospray emitter relative to a mass spectrometer orifice. The I/O controller may be connected to a power supply for applying an adjustable electrospray ionization voltage, and an adjustable flow regulator that alters the flow of solution by modifying applied voltage and/or pressure. A central processing unit instructs the I/O controller to control selectively the electrospray assembly based on the resultant signals from the mass spectrometer or the ion currents within the mass spectrometer in accordance with a predetermined optimization algorithm. The resulting ESI signal or ion currents are monitored and provide feedback to the I/O controller which can automatically instruct selected system components to make adjustments as needed to attain optimal settings that produce expected ESI signals or ion currents in the mass spectrometer for selected solutions.

Microfluidic devices provide substances to a mass spectrometer. The microfluidic devices include first and second surfaces, at least one microchannel formed by the surfaces, and an outlet at an edge of the surfaces. Some embodiments also include a tip surface with one or more surface features for helping guide substances from the outlet of the device toward a mass spectrometer. In some embodiments, the surface feature(s) includes a groove, which may be hydrophilic along all or part of its length. Hydrophilic surfaces and/or hydrophobic surfaces may also help guide substances out of the outlet and/or toward the mass spectrometer. In some embodiments, the outlet and/or the tip surface is recessed back from an adjacent portion of the edge. A source of electrical potential can help move substances through the microchannel, separate substances and/or provide electrospray ionization.

摘要:
In an example embodiment, a bundle loader is run in response to a communication from an application. The communication may indicate that the plurality of bundles of components in the application is to be executed. The plurality of bundles may include at least one bundle having a component that depends on a dependency component in another of the plurality of bundles. A configuration file indicating a set of the plurality of bundles to load in the bundle loader is received. The bundle loader is operated to load a bundle manifest for each bundle in the set of the plurality of bundles to load. Then, for each of the bundles in the set of plurality of bundles to load, the bundle is activated if no unactivated dependency component exists for any component in the bundle.
