DMF-MALDI: droplet based microfluidic combined to MALDI-TOF for focused peptide detection

Abstract We present an automated droplet microfluidic system (DMF) to generate monitored nanoliter aqueous droplets in oil and their deposition on a commercial stainless steel plate for MALDI-TOF analysis of peptides or protein digests. We demonstrate that DMF-MALDI combination focuses the analyte o...
