Article Abstract
In this work, sub-microlitre droplets were generated by gravity and electrostatic attraction using a capillary tube. The parameters affecting the sizes and frequency of the droplets were investigated. The volume of droplets could be controlled in the range from 0.7 μL to 2.4 μL and the time interval from 15 s to 60 s with appropriate parameters. Combining the droplets with on-line mass spectrometry (MS) via paper-based electrospray ionization (ESI), a steady flow of solvent was delivered by the capillary tube to the base-side of the paper, which maintained the consistent state of the electrospray. With this approach, each droplet produced a peak in the ion chromatogram. Relative standard deviations (RSDs) not higher than 9% for both the intensities and the time intervals were achieved when using rhodamine 6G and l-phenylalanine as model analytes. The present method was utilized for the monitoring of the amine-aldehyde condensation reaction of butylamine and benzaldehyde. Direct analysis and distribution of molecules in fruits were also performed, which demonstrated the potential application of this approach.

The tumor microenvironment (TME), especially with its complicated metabolic characteristics, will dynamically affect the proliferation, migration, and drug response of tumor cells. Rapid metabolic analysis brings out a deeper understanding of the TME, while the susceptibility and environmental dependence of metabolites extremely hinder real-time metabolic profiling since the TME is easily disrupted. Here, we directly integrated paper spray ionization mass spectrometry with a paper-based three-dimensional (3D) tumor model, realizing the rapid capture of metabolic gradients.

Adsorbents play a significant role in enhancing the analytical sensitivity of target analytes in complex samples by mitigating matrix effects. In our recent report, ZnO stood out among various adsorbents to determine target therapeutic drugs in complex biological matrices when applied for portable paper-based electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (PPESI-MS). However, the influence of the morphology of ZnO on the performance of PPESI-MS is elusive.

Paper spray ionization has been demonstrated to be the most promising substrate-based source, but this technique suffers from the low desorption efficiency of target compounds and poor portability. In the current study, we describe a portable paper-based electrospray ionization (PPESI) in which a piece of triangle paper and adsorbent are packed sequentially into a modified disposable micropipette tip. This source not only captures the feature of paper spray and adsorbent for highly efficient suppression of sample matrixes for target compound analysis but also takes advantage of a micropipette tip to prevent spray solvent from rapid evaporation.

As one of the gaseous signaling molecules, aberrant levels of SO are usually associated with many diseases. it is of great significance to develop sensitive methods for detection SO on real. In this paper, a D-π-A near-infrared aggregation-induced fluorescent probe (DPA-CN) was built using diphenylamino-4-benzaldehyde and malononitrile for sensing SO.

Mass spectrometry (MS) is attractive as a multiplexed immunoassay readout benefiting from its high sensitivity, speed and mass resolution. Here, a simple paper-based hexaplex immunoassay with an on-line MS readout was proposed, using functionalized paper as the immune substrates, along with rhodamine-based mass tags assembled on gold nanoparticles prepared as the mass probes (MPs). Simultaneous immune capture and labeling were conducted in one step on paper substrates in 96-well plates with a high throughput within 30 minutes, and the on-line efficient dissociation of the mass tags highly facilitated the hexaplex readout of the immune signals by a newly established on-line paper substrate-based electrospray ionization-MS setup.
