    Abstract

    In this study, a microfluidic device, fabricated in PDMS. with an integrated sheathless electrospray emitter tip is described. A sample pre-treatment function was also added into the device, allowing neuropeptides in Ringer's salt solution to be desalted prior to mass spectrometry analyzation. The device was fabricated casting two PDMS substrates from a SU-8 master and subsequently irreversibly bonding them together using corona discharge treatment. The device showed excellent durability and the peptide sample could be analyzed without any traces of salts.
