Compact disk -based microfluidics

In one of the most complete microfluidic systems developed for mass spectrometry applications to date, Gustafsson et al. [12] developed a MALDI interface for compact disk (CD)-based microfluidics, a technology in which reactions and separations are powered by centrifugal forces on a spinning device (CD Lab-on-a-Chip). Figure 3b demmistrates the operation of an individual analysis region (each CD contains 96 such regions). The sample is loaded (A) and then washed and eluted from a reversed-phase colunm (B). Finally, the sample is co-crystaUized with...
