Graphical Abstract

Microchip innovation: A thin-film microchip system has been developed for microelectrospray Fourier-transform ion-cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. Application perspectives include the analysis of combinatorial libraries and high-performance proteomics (as shown for the peptide fragment of the phosphorylation domain (512–538) of human neurofibrillary tau protein; the seven phosphorylation sites are indicated in red).
