Abstract
In the fields of biology and medicine, comprehensive protein analysis at the single-cell level utilizing mass spectrometry (MS) with pL sample volumes and zmol to amol sensitivity is required. Our group has developed nanofluidic analytical pretreatment methods that exploit nanochannels for downsizing chemical unit operations to fL-pL volumes. In the field of analytical instruments, mass spectrometers have advanced to achieve ultrahigh sensitivity. However, a method to interface between fL-pL pretreatments and mass spectrometers without sample loss and dispersion is still challenging. In this study, we developed an MS interface utilizing nanofluidics to achieve high-sensitivity detection. After charging analyte molecules by an applied voltage through an electrode, the liquid sample was converted to fL droplets by a nanofluidic device. Considering the inertial force that acts on the droplets, the droplets were carried with a controlled trajectory, even in turbulent air flow, and injected into a mass spectrometer with 100% efficiency. A module for heat transfer was designed and constructed, by which all of the injected droplets were vaporized to produce gas-phase ions. The detection of caffeine ions was achieved at a limit of detection of 1.52 amol, which was 290 times higher than a conventional MS interface by electrospray ionization with sample dispersion combined with a similar mass spectrometer. Therefore, sensitivity that was 2 orders of magnitude higher could be realized due to the 100% sample injection rate. The present study provides a new methodology for the analysis of ultrasmall samples with high-sensitivity, such as protein molecules produced from a single cell.

Abstract
Sensitive analysis of metabolites in a single cell is of fundamental significance for the better understanding of biological variability, differential susceptibility in disease therapy, and cell-to-cell heterogeneity as well. Herein, polarity-specific profiling of metabolites in a single cell was implemented by probe electrophoresis mass spectrometry (PEMS), which combined electrophoresis sampling of metabolites from a single cell and nanoelectrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (nanoESI-MS) analysis of the sampled metabolites. Enhanced extraction of either negatively or positively charged metabolites from a single cell was achieved by applying a DC voltage offset of +2.0 and -2.0 V to the probe, respectively. The experimental data demonstrated that PEMS features high throughput (≥200 peaks) and high sensitivity (≥10-times signal enhancement for [Choline + H]+, [Glutamine + H]+, [Arginine + H]+, etc.) in comparison with direct nanoESI-MS analysis. The biological effects of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) and γ-radiation on Allium cepa cells were investigated by PEMS, which revealed that CdSe QDs lead to the increase of intracellular amines while γ-radiation causes the decrease of intracellular acids. Therefore, this work provides an alternative platform to probe novel insights of cells by sensitive analysis of polarity-specific metabolites in a single cell.

Abstract
Valveless piezoelectric pumps usually have less flow than valve piezoelectric pumps, but the valve piezoelectric pumps have some limitations, such as high cost, complex structure, and difficult installation. In order to solve the problem of the low flow rate of the valveless piezoelectric pump, a valveless piezoelectric pump with multi-stage fluid guiding bodies is proposed. Based on the structure and working principle of the piezoelectric pump, the forward energy loss equation is established, and analysis on parameters affecting the energy loss of the pump is then conducted. COMSOL Multiphysics is adopted to construct a two-dimensional model of velocity and von Mises stress distribution. The valveless piezoelectric pumps were then fabricated based on 3D printing technologies, and the prototypes were tested. The results show that the output performance of the pump is the best when the working voltage is 220 V, the frequency is 95 Hz, the length of the oblique arm of the fluid guiding body is 3.5 mm, the spacing is 9.05 mm, and the thickness is 0.1 mm. The maximum flow rate is 520.6 ml/min. In addition, the experimental results prove that the asymmetric fluid guiding body placed in the center of the pump chamber can improve the performance of piezoelectric pumps. This study extends the application of piezoelectric valveless pumps in micromechanical cooling.

Abstract
In 2007, probe electrospray ionization/mass spectrometry (PESI/MS) was developed. In this technique, the needle is moved down along a vertical axis and the tip of the needle touched to the sample. After capturing the sample at the needle tip, the needle is then moved up and a high voltage is applied to the needle at the highest position to generate electrospray. Due to the discontinuous sampling followed by the generation of spontaneous electrospray, sequential and exhaustive electrospray takes place depending on the surface activity of the analytes. As modified versions of PESI, dipping PESI (dPESI), sheath-flow PESI (sfPESI) and adjustable sfPESI (ad-sfPESI) have been developed. These methods are complementary to each other and they can be applicable to surface and bulk analysis of various biological samples. In this article, the characteristics of these methods and their applications to real samples will be reviewed.

Abstract
RATIONALE Floral volatiles are commonly present only at trace amounts and can be degraded or lost during vapor collection, which is often challenging from the analytical standpoint. Osmanthus fragrans Lour. is a widely cultivated plant known for the highly distinct fragrance of its flowers. The identification of specific volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and molecular differentiation of O. fragrans without any chemical pretreatment and VOC collection are important. METHODS Twenty-eight VOCs released by the flowers from ten different cultivars of O. fragrans were identified using neutral desorption extractive atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (ND-EAPCI-MS) without any chemical pretreatment or VOC collection. Chemical identification was performed by high-resolution MSn analysis and whenever possible was confirmed by the analysis of standards. RESULTS According to our literature search, nine of the identified VOCs, 3-buten-2-one, cyclohexadiene, 2-methylfuran, 3-allylcyclohexene, cuminyl alcohol, hotrienol oxide, epoxy-linalool oxide, N-(2-hydroxyethyl) octanamide, and 3-hydroxy-dihydro-β-ionone, have not been reported in O. fragrans in earlier studies. Confident differentiation between ten different cultivars of O. fragrans was achieved by the principal component analysis of the mass spectrometric results. CONCLUSIONS The results of our ND-EAPCI-MS analysis substantially increase our knowledge about the chemistry of the O. fragrans floral fragrance and demonstrate the power of this technique for direct molecular profiling for plant recognition or in biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Cells are the most basic structural units that play vital roles in the functioning of living organisms. Analysis of the chemical composition and content of a single cell plays a vital role in ensuring precise investigations of cellular metabolism, and is a crucial aspect of lipidomic and proteomic studies. In addition, structural knowledge provides a better understanding of cell behavior as well as the cellular and subcellular mechanisms. However, single-cell analysis can be very challenging due to the very small size of each cell as well as the large variety and extremely low concentrations of substances found in individual cells. On account of its high sensitivity and selectivity, mass spectrometry holds great promise as an effective technique for single-cell analysis. Numerous mass spectrometric techniques have been developed to elucidate the molecular profiles at the cellular level, including electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), laser-based mass spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). In this review, the recent advances in single-cell analysis by mass spectrometry are summarized. The strategies of different ionization modes to achieve single-cell analysis are classified and discussed in detail.

Abstract
In previous work, probe electrospray ionization/mass spectrometry (PESI/MS) and sheath-flow probe electrospray ionization/mass spectrometry (sfPESI/MS) were reported for the rapid and minimally invasive analysis of food. In this work, a modified version of sfPESI will be reported. The sample surface was pricked with an acupuncture needle inserted in the sfPESI probe that protruded from the terminus of the tip by 5 mm. The invasion depth of the needle into the sample was ∼1 mm. After sampling, the needle was retracted into the solvent-preloaded capillary with a protrusion length of 0.1-0.2 mm from the tip. A mass spectrum of the sample captured on the needle was obtained by applying a high voltage to the needle. This method could be applicable to profiling analyses of plants with the epicuticular wax covering on the surfaces that are difficult to analyze by sf-PESI. The on-site mass spectrometric analysis for a growing apricot in the field was performed to monitor the developing stage of the fruit.

Abstract
In mass spectrometry, analytes must be released in the gas phase. There are two representative methods for the gasification of the condensed samples, i.e., ablation and desorption. While ablation is based on the explosion induced by the energy accumulated in the condensed matrix, desorption is a single molecular process taking place on the surface. In this paper, desorption methods for mass spectrometry developed in our laboratory: flash heating/rapid cooling, Leidenfrost phenomenon-assisted thermal desorption (LPTD), solid/solid friction, liquid/solid friction, electrospray droplet impact (EDI) ionization/desorption, and probe electrospray ionization (PESI), will be described. All the methods are concerned with the surface and interface phenomena. The concept of how to desorb less-volatility compounds from the surface will be discussed.

Nevertheless, matrix effects such as the interference of culture medium and intracellular components influence the sensitivity and the accuracy of results in single-cell analysis. To resolve this problem, we developed a method that integrated droplet-based microextraction with single-cell mass spectrometry. Specific extraction solvent was used to selectively obtain intracellular components of interest and remove interference of other components. Using this method, UDP-Glc-NAc, GSH, GSSG, AMP, ADP and ATP were successfully detected in single MCF-7 cells. We also applied the method to study the change of unicellular metabolites in the biological process of dysfunctional oxidative phosphorylation. The method could not only realize matrix-free, selective and sensitive detection of metabolites in single cells, but also have the capability for reliable and high-throughput single-cell analysis.

Abstract
In this report, we developed the pressure probe electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry with internal electrode capillary (IEC-PPESI-MS) which enables high spatial-resolution cell sampling, precise postsampling manipulation, and high detection sensitivity. Using this technique, a comparative in situ single-cell metabolite profiling of stalk and glandular cells, the two adjacent cell types comprising a trichome unit in tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum L.), were performed to clarify the extent of metabolic differentiation between two cell types as well as among different types of trichomes. Owing to high sensitivity of the system, less than a picoliter cell sap from a single stalk cell sufficiently yielded a number of peaks of amino acids, organic acids, carbohydrates, and flavonoids. The minimal cell sap removal from a stalk cell without severe disturbance of trichome structure enabled sequential analysis of adjacent glandular cell on the same trichome, which showed the presence of striking differences in metabolite compositions between two adjacent cell types. Comparison among different types of trichome also revealed significant variations in metabolite profiles, particularly in flavonoids and acyl sugars compositions. Some metabolites were found only in specific cell types or particular trichome types. Although extensive metabolomics analysis of glandular cells of tomato trichomes has been previously documented, this is the first report describing cell-to-cell variations in metabolite compositions of stalk and glandular cells as well as in different trichome types. Further application of this technique may provide new insights into distinct metabolism in plant cells displaying variations in shape, size, function and physicochemical properties.
