1 Introduction to HPLC-Chip Technology

Overview

Traditional nanospray mass spectrometry has proven it's potential as a

cost-effective, sensitive and reproducible technique for the identification of

peptides at femtomol to atomol levels. However, connecting nano capillaries,

columns and valves frequently is a tedious procedure and requires user skills

and routine. When handled incorrectly, nano flow connections are prone to

leakage which are difficult to detect and result in poor system performance

and extended downtime of the complete system. Quartz nano spray needles

are prone to blockages and require frequent replacement.

With the invention of HPLC-Chip technology, Agilent is significantly reducing

the need for user interaction and making nanospray a rugged state-of-the-art

technology.

The cornerstone of chip technology is the HLPC-Chip, a 3-dimensional

structure made of sandwiched polyimide films. Grooves of specific dimensions

are laser-ablated into a layer of polyimide film. The lamination of a top and

bottom layer then forms channels of trapezoidal or triangular shape inside the

chip which can either be used as capillaries or, if filled with packing material,

as nanocolumns. One end of the chip tapers off into a polyimide nanospray

emitter.
