abstract = "We demonstrated a nano-electrospray ionization (n-ESI) emitter monolithically integrated on silicon chip. Chip contains an integrated T-junction droplet generator that enables segmentation of analytes flow in μm-scale microfluidic channels into a series of oil-isolated pL-volume aqueous droplets. Chip-integrated n-ESI emitter is designed to efficiently deliver segmented analytes for subsequent mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. Engineered emitter nozzle geometry enables spatial and temporal separation of electro-sprayed oil and aqueous phases to monitor sampled neurochemicals on a droplet-by-droplet basis thus promising improved temporal and chemical sensitivity.",
