Description

A kind of micro-fluidic electron spray chip device and manufacture method
Technical field
The present invention relates to electron spray device, particularly as the ionogenic electron spray device of mass spectrometer; Device of the present invention relates to microfluidic chip technology or microfluidic chip technology; The manufacturing technology of device of the present invention relates to micro-processing technology, microelectronics micromachining technology, is specially a kind of micro-fluidic electron spray chip device and manufacture method.
Background technology
Normally liquid is under the effect of highfield power for electron spray, and at the nozzle needle interruption-forming taylor cone of tubulose, cone point ejects small charged drop.Electrospray techniques, as a kind of main ion source, is widely used in mass spectral analysis, is the important component part that liquid chromatography mass is used in conjunction analytical technology, in the analysis and research of large biological molecule, serves crucial effect.Electron spray, as connection liquid chromatogram and mass spectrographic ion source, is divided into milliliter level (flow velocity is in ml/min magnitude), micro updating (flow velocity is in mul/min magnitude) according to the size of flow velocity and receives upgrading (flow velocity is receiving a liter/min magnitude) three kinds.Milliliter level electron spray is used for the analytical system that the large chromatographic column liquid chromatogram of mm dia and mass spectrum are used in conjunction, as 4.6 traditional mm dia chromatographic columns.Micro updating electron spray is generally used for diameter and is less than 1 millimeter and be greater than the chromatogram column system of 100 microns.Upgrading electron spray of receiving is less than the chromatogram column system of 100 microns for diameter.Receive upgrading electron spray due to flow velocity minimum, with very little nozzle needle, directly can spray under electric field force effect, efficiently molecules detected gasification and ionization.Microlitre and milliliter level electron spray due to flow velocity comparatively large, needs larger nozzle needle, the liquid-drop diameter of ejection is also larger, gasify and Ionization Efficiency low, so need secondary air.General method adds all even coaxial jet-stream wind around nozzle needle, the people such as Henion (U.S. Patent number 4861988), at the sleeve pipe that the outer surface cover one of electron spray pin is coaxial, nozzle needle stretches out in outside sleeve pipe slightly, air-flow ejects formation secondary air by the gap of nozzle needle and sleeve pipe, to improve electron spray gasification and Ionization Efficiency, also greatly improve repeatability and the stability of electron spray simultaneously.The electrospray techniques of this band secondary air obtains the inspection in market and applies the most widely, is to connect liquid chromatogram and mass spectrographic standard technique always.
In the technology of people's inventions such as Henion, an electromotive force is added on liquid, and another electromotive force is added in from the electrode of an electron spray pin distance, and the difference of these two electromotive forces is at nozzle needle mouth place's generation electric field, liquid flows out from needle tubing, under electric field force effect, form electron spray; Gas ejects from the gap of nozzle needle and sleeve pipe, help electron spray produce droplets vaporize and drop in testing molecule ionization.An important directions of technical development in recent years on chip, makes electron spray device with micro-processing technology.One of them reason is the microminiaturization of liquid chromatogram and integrated, and namely liquid chromatographic system is accomplished inside a chip, this needs chip electric spray ion source supporting with it.Another reason is that chip electric spray ion source can be fabricated into multiple nozzle needle on chip on a very little region, makes wafer ion source have high Ionization Efficiency and sensitivity, can also be used for chromatogram and the mass spectrometry system of larger flow velocity simultaneously.
The multiplex micro-processing technology in published electron spray wafer ion source makes.The people such as Moon make electron spray chip (US Patent No. 6800202B2) with microelectronics micro mechanical technology (MENS).They, with the silicon chip of a monolithic, etch perforation by plasma etching technology and on silicon chip, form electron spray nozzle needle on silicon chip.The Staats electron spray chip (US Patent No. 6800849B2) of micro injection molding fabrication techniques based on plastic material, forms perforation and the electron spray nozzle of chip by Laser Micro-Machining.These electron spray chips all can not add secondary air at nozzle needle place, and they all just receive upgrading electron spray device.But on market, most demand is micro updating and the milliliter level electron spray of large flow velocity, and chip electron spray needs to larger flow velocity and more stable performance future development.The people such as Rossier (US Patent No. 7265348B2) are made in electron spray nozzle on the edge of chip, and the raceway groove doing an air guide is in the chips incorporated into nozzle place secondary air.The people such as Li (U.S. Patent application Pub.No.:US2007/0257190A1) are also made in electron spray nozzle on the edge of chip, and the raceway groove having done two air guides is in the chips incorporated into jet-stream wind the right and left at nozzle place symmetrically.The method of their this introducing secondary air is different from the method be verified general on market.The method that market uses is that secondary air is close to electron spray nozzle needle and coaxially ejects (U.S. Patent number 4861988 of the people such as Henion) around nozzle needle equably, facts have proved, such secondary air, while the gasification of help electron spray, makes again electron spray more repeat and stablize.Air-flow in existing electron spray chip device is not equably around electron spray nozzle needle, is easy to cause unstable electron spray.The nozzle needle of the chip electron spray of the people such as Brekenfeld (U.S. Patent application Pub.No.:US2014/0284406A1) is perpendicular to chip, and liquid flows into from the one side of chip, sprays under electric field force effect from the nozzle needle mouth of the another side of chip; Chip around nozzle needle place has several perforation, and gas ejects formation secondary air from hole.This can not form the air-flow of uniform ring around electron spray nozzle needle equally.Such structure also makes air-flow can not be close to electron spray nozzle needle, and air-flow reduces the shearing booster action of electron spray.
