On-fibre separation science with ambient ionisation mass spectrometry

该项目旨在将基于纤维的电流体学和环境电离质谱学相结合。纤维电泳法是一种比前MS分析更便宜、更简单、更快速的分离技术。该项目将同时使用光纤作为环境质谱分析的电离平台，将分离和电离过程结合在一个便携式和灵活的平台上。开发的技术有望在生物分析、蛋白质组学和快速临床诊断方面提供新的能力。未来的好处可能包括新的基于商业纤维的技术，这些技术可能在未来10年内应用于工业和临床实验室。

This project aims to combine fibre-based electrofluidics and ambient ionisation mass spectrometry. Fibre-based electrophoresis is a separation technology which is cheaper, simpler and faster than pre-MS analyses. This project will use the fibre simultaneously as the ionisation platform for ambient mass spectrometry, combining the processes of separation and ionisation in a portable and flexible platform. The developed technology is expected to provide new capability in bioanalysis, proteomics and rapid clinical diagnostics. Future benefits may include new commercial fibre based technologies which could be applied within industrial and clinical laboratories within the next ten years.
