The applications of rapid screening benzodiazepines from urine and determining synthetic reaction products and kinetics semi-quantitatively using a microfabricated rotating multitip electrospray ionization (ESI) platform for mass spectrometry (MS) is presented. The ESI tips are based on lidless micropillar array ESI (mu PESI) sources where the transfer of liquid is based on capillary forces without external pumping. A single silicon platform contains 60 separate mu PESI tips which can be individually used by rotating the whole platform by six degrees each time from tip to tip using a computer control. The rotating multi tip mu PESI platform with an ion trap mass spectrometer was successfully demonstrated in rapid identification and monitoring of intermediates and final products in chemical synthesis within 10 min. The system was also applied to high-throughput screening of benzodiazepines from urine samples. Urine samples were extracted with solid-phase extraction (SPE) using C-18 phase ZipTip (TM) pipettes, enabling the use as small sample volumes as 50 mu L of the urine sample. Therefore the whole sample treatment and the analysis with the rotating multitip mu PESI-MS took only 5 min per sample. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
