A versatile and low-cost chip-to-world interface: Enabling ICP-MS characterization of isotachophoretically separated lanthanides on a microfluidic device

Atomic spectrometry update: review of advances in atomic spectrometry and related techniques

“…One of the challenges of chip-based systems has been the problem of interfacing them with detection systems having incompatible sample introduction systems. Lackey et al 8 employed a simple interface consisting of a fused silica capillary glued into a microchip outlet using epoxy. Thus, fourteen lanthanide metal ions were separated on the microfluidic chip using isotacophoresis, and then, via a CEI-100 crosspiece to introduce makeup solution, into ICP-MS for detection.…”

Multifunctional microfluidic chips for the single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry analysis of inorganic nanoparticles

“…Lackey et al reported about an MC device that enabled ICP-MS characterization of isotachophoretically separated lanthanides. 17 In one of the first MC-ICP-MS studies focusing on cell analysis, Wang et al prepared an MC device for the on-line magnetic solid phase microextraction of cell samples. Cu, Zn, Cd, Hg, Pb and Bi elements were determined in HepG2, Jurkat T and MCF7 cell by using extraction on Fe 3 O 4 at SiO 2 nanoparticles, surface-modified by (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) and packed in the microfluidic channels.…”

Comparison of 1D a 2D ITP‐MS performance parameters and application possibilities: Ultratrace determination of B vitamins in human urine

“…The vast majority of the studies were performed in an apparatus working in a hydrodynamically open mode. These articles deal with an analysis of peptides and proteins [14–16], nucleotides [17], nucleotides and nucleosides related products [18, 19], amino acids [20], amyloid β‐peptide biomarkers [21], lanthanides [22, 23], antifungal agent tiabendazole [24], hydroxyl‐s‐triazine herbicides [25], nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs [26–28], sulfonamides [29], or β‐blockers [30]. A free‐flow ITP in a microfluidic device coupled with MS was introduced recently too [31].…”
