  • Publication number: 20050186685
    Abstract: A method for transporting in a microfluidic conduit an aliquot of a liquid, possibly containing a substance I, which is dissolved in the liquid and typically exhibits charged groups and/or hydrophobic groups. The method is characterized in that the liquid contains an amphiphilic macromolecular substance.

  • Publication number: 20040239234
    Abstract: A dual-side field-emission display has one cathode plate and two anode plates. The cathode plate has two opposite surfaces, and each surface has a cathode conductive layer and an electron emission layer formed thereon. The anode plates are disposed at two opposing sides of the cathode plate. Each of the anode plates has an anode conductive layer and a phosphor layer.

  • Patent number: 6812457
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for presenting an analyte of a liquid sample as an MS-analyte to a mass spectrometer. More particularly, the method comprises the steps of applying a liquid sample containing the analyte to a sample inlet port of a microchannel structure of a microfluidic device, said structure also comprising an outlet port (MS-port) that is capable of being interfaced with a mass spectrometer, passing the analyte to the MS-port thereby transforming it to an MS-analyte, and presenting the MS-analyte to mass spectrometer via the MS-port.

  • Patent number: 6812456
    Abstract: A microfluidic device in form of a disc comprising an MS-port for presentation of an MS-analyte to an EDI-MS apparatus, said MS-port is a part of a microchannel structure (I) comprising an inlet port for a sample, and comprises an EDI-area having a conductive layer (I) and an EDI-surface from which the MS-analyte is to be desorbed/ionised. The device is characterized in that layer (I) has a conductive connection and/or that there is a calibrator area in the proximity of each of said one, two or more MS-ports. In a typical variant the MS-port is in the form of a depression that is in fluid communication with upstream part of microchannel structure (I).

  • Patent number: 6717136
    Abstract: A microfluidic device comprising an MS-analyte presentation unit for a EDI-MS apparatus, said unit comprising an essentially planar support plate which on one side has one, two or more ports (MS-ports) comprising an area (EDI area) for presenting the MS-analyte to a mass spectrometer. The EDI area comprises a layer I of conducting material. The characteristic feature of the device is that layer (I) has a conductive connection and/or that there is a calibrator area in the proximity of the MS-port.
