We have developed a miniaturized multifunctional device, the Single-probe, for microscale bioanalysis. One of the important applications is to conduct quantitative analysis of compounds (such as anticancer drugs) inside live single cells. The Single-probe is fabricated by embedding within the dual-bore quartz needle with one fused silica capillary and one nano-ESI emitter. The tip size of the Single-probe is small enough (6-9 µm) to be inserted into a live eukaryotic cell for sampling. The sampled cellular compounds are immediately ionized along with an internal standard (such as deuterated drug), and detected by a mass spectrometer. The abundance of target molecules can be obtained from experimental results. |
