Abstract
“A miniaturized planar device is described for use in a liquid phase analysis system. The device comprises a separation compartment that is in fluidic communication with a make-up flow channel and a channel compartment that terminates in an on-device mass spectrometer delivery means. The device is formed by microfabrication of microstructures in novel support substrates.”
