Abstract
Droplet-based microfluidic systems coupled to electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS) has a number of advantages for the study of enzyme kinetics: minimal reagent consumption, a well-defined reaction time control, and label-free and multiplex detection analysis. However, most studies have been dependent on ESI sources integrated on chips, which can be a challenge for practical application. Here, we report a simple trick for coupling of a standard ESI source to a droplet-based microfluidic chip that can also be made with standard techniques. With the new coupling, we demonstrated a label-free kinetic analysis of an enzymatic reaction in 50 nL droplets.
