Capillary electrophoresis coupled to negative mode electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry using an electrokinetically-pumped nanospray interface with primary amines grafted to the interior of a glass emitter
We grafted primary amines to the interior of an electrospray emitter. The amines generate stable flow to the emitter in electrophoresis performed in negative mode. We used the modified electrospray to detect negatively charged metabolites from Xenopus laevis embryos.
