“…Under these conditions, the deposition volume can be reduced to achieve low volume fractions with a higher local concentration. We are evaluating a continuous deposition interface, which has the potential for low volume sample deposition from the bioreactor [55][56][57], thereby enhancing sensitivity [58].…”

An automated proteolytic digestion bioreactor and droplet deposition system was constructed with a plastic microfluidic device for off-line interfacing to matrix assisted laser desorption/ ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The microfluidic chips were fabricated in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), using a micromilling machine and incorporated a bioreactor, which was 100 ILm wide, 100 ILm deep, and possessed a 4 cm effective channel length (400 nL volume). The chip was operated by pressure-driven flow and mounted on a robotic fraction collector system. The PMMA bioreactor contained surface immobilized trypsin, which was covalently attached to the UV-modified PMMA surface using coupling reagents N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethy1carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and hydroxysulfosuccinimide (sulfo-NHS). The digested peptides were mixed with a MALDI matrix on-chip and deposited as discrete spots on MALDI targets. The bioreactor provided efficient digestion of a test protein, cytochrome c, at a flow rate of 1 ILL/min, producing a reaction time of -24 s to give adequate sequence coverage for protein identification. Other proteins were also evaluated using this solid-phase bioreactor. The efficiency of digestion was evaluated by monitoring the sequence coverage, which was 64%, 35%, 58%, and 47% for cytochrome c, Significant progress has been made toward the development of microchip-based technologies for proteomics through the integration of analytical processes into platforms that can provide rapid identification of proteins and the subsequent characterization of various post-translational modifications [1][2][3][4]. The small sample and reagent requirements, rapid analysis times, high throughput processing capabilities, and low operating costs are among the driving forces for the development of these systems [5][6][7][8]. Different microfluidic devices have been applied to specific aspects of protein processing, in particular, protein purification and separation, protein digestion, and protein identification by mass spectrometry [9].There have been a number of approaches to on-line and off-line matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) integrated to chipbased devices [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. The primary advantage of the MALDI approach compared with electrospray ionization (ESI) when coupling to microfluidic chips is the potential for multiplexing [19].

Furthermore, microfluidic chip interfaces to ESI can suffer from stability problems when sprays are started or stopped [20,21]. This limits the speed of moving from one sample to another and therefore, limits throughput.With recent advances in analytical methods for proteomics, attention has been directed toward development of effic...

“…Current automated LC-MS proteomics platforms typically involve LC separations with gradients of 100 min or longer, which limits throughput to ϳ10 sample analyses per day per MS instrument. Several reports have explored the use of smaller particle-packed columns or monolithic columns for fast LC separations (10 min or less) as well as multiplex column systems to significantly improve the throughput (60,61). However, it is unclear whether sufficient separation power can be achieved with these fast liquid phase separations because the increase in the solvent gradient speed can degrade the separation peak capacity (60), which in turn reduces the overall dynamic range of detection.…”

Recent advances in proteomics technologies provide tremendous opportunities for biomarker-related clinical applications; however, the distinctive characteristics of human biofluids such as the high dynamic range in protein abundances and extreme complexity of the proteomes present tremendous challenges. In this review we summarize recent advances in LC-MS-based proteomics profiling and its applications in clinical proteomics as well as discuss the major challenges associated with implementing these technologies for more effective candidate biomarker discovery. Developments in immunoaffinity depletion and various fractionation approaches in combination with substantial improvements in LC-MS platforms have enabled the plasma proteome to be profiled with considerably greater dynamic range of coverage, allowing many proteins at low ng/ml levels to be confidently identified. Despite these significant advances and efforts, major challenges associated with the dynamic range of measurements and extent of proteome coverage, confidence of peptide/protein identifications, quantitation accuracy, analysis throughput, and the robustness of present instrumentation must be addressed before a proteomics profiling platform suitable for efficient clinical applications can be routinely implemented.

“…High-speed, high-resolution LC separations, using a poly(styrenedivinylbenzene) monolithic column, have been already coupled to MALDI MS and MS/MS through an off-line continuous deposition interface. Deposition at subatmospheric pressure (80 torr) formed a 250 lm-wide serpentine trace with uniform width and microcrystalline morphology [18]. Special peak collection units for direct deposition of microcolumn HPLC separated analytes directly onto MALDI targets were also described [19].…”

Comparative TOF-SIMS and MALDI TOF-MS analysis on different chromatographic planar substratesA comparison is made between two high resolution, surface-based, mass spectrometric methods: time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) and matrixassisted laser desorption/ionisation mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF-MS) in indication of abietic and gibberellic acids molecular profiles on different chromatographic thin layers. The analytes were applied to silica gel chromatographic thin layers with SIMS on-line interfacing channel, monolithic silica gel ultra-thin layers, and thin layers specifically designed for direct Raman spectroscopic analysis. Two MALDI matrices were used in this research: ferulic acid and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid. The silica gel SIMS-interfacing channel strongly supported formation of numerous different MALDI MS fragments with abietic and gibberellic acids, and ferulic acid matrix. The most intense fragments belonged to [M -OH] + and [M] + ions from ferulic acid. Intense conjugates were detected with gibberellic acid. The MALDI MS spectrum from the monolithic silica gel surface showed very low analyte signal intensity and it was not possible to obtain MALDI spectra from a Raman spectroscopy treated chromatographic layer. The MALDI TOF MS gibberellic acid fragmentation profile was shielded by the matrix used and was accompanied by poor analyte identification. The most useful TOF-SIMS analytical signal response was obtained from analytes separated on monolithic silica gel and a SIMS-interfacing modified silica gel surface. New horizons with nanostructured surfaces call for high resolution MS methods (which cannot readily be miniaturised like many optical and electrochemical methods) to be integrated in chip and nanoscale detection systems.
