Abstract
Cell analysis is of great significance for the exploration of human diseases and health. However, there are not many techniques for high-throughput cell analysis in the simulated cell microenvironment. The high designability of the microfluidic chip enables multiple kinds of cells to be co-cultured on the chip, with other functions such as sample preprocessing and cell manipulation. Mass spectrometry (MS) can detect a large number of biomolecules without labelling. Therefore, the application of the microfluidic chip coupled with MS has represented a major branch of cell analysis over the past decades. Here, we concisely introduce various microfluidic devices coupled with MS used for cell analysis. The main functions of microfluidic devices are described first, followed by introductions of different interfaces with different types of MS. Then, their various applications in cell analysis are highlighted, with an emphasis on cell metabolism, drug screening, and signal transduction. Current limitations and prospective trends of microfluidics coupled with MS are discussed at the end.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) have advanced a variety of applications, including matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). ILs can be used as matrices and solvents for analyte extraction and separation prior to analysis using laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry (LDI-MS). Most ILs show high stability with negligible sublimation under vacuum, provide high ionization efficiency, can be used for qualitative and quantitative analyses with and without internal standards, show high reproducibility, form homogenous spots during sampling, and offer high solvation efficiency for a wide range of analytes. Ionic liquids can be used as solvents and pseudo-stationary phases for extraction and separation of a wide range of analytes, including proteins, peptides, lipids, carbohydrates, pathogenic bacteria, and small molecules. This review article summarizes the recent advances of ILs applications using MALDI-MS. The applications of ILs as matrices, solvents, and pseudo-stationary phases, are also reviewed.

Abstract
This review is the seventh update of the original article published in 1999 on the application of MALDI mass spectrometry to the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2012. General aspects such as theory of the MALDI process, matrices, derivatization, MALDI imaging, and fragmentation are covered in the first part of the review and applications to various structural types constitute the remainder. The main groups of compound are oligo- and poly-saccharides, glycoproteins, glycolipids, glycosides, and biopharmaceuticals. Much of this material is presented in tabular form. Also discussed are medical and industrial applications of the technique, studies of enzyme reactions, and applications to chemical synthesis. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
A solidified ionic liquid matrix (SILM) consisting of 3-aminoquinoline, α-cyano-4- hydroxycinnamic acid and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate combines the benefits of liquid and solid MALDI matrices and proves to be well suitable for phosphopeptide analysis using MALDI-MS in the low femtomole range. Desalting and buffer exchange that typically follow after phosphopeptide elution from metal oxide affinity chromatography (MOAC) materials can be omitted. Shifting the pH from acidic to basic during target preparation causes slow matrix crystallization and homogeneous embedding of the analyte molecules, forming a uniform preparation from which (phospho)peptides can be ionized in high yields over long periods of time. The novel combination of MOAC-based phosphopeptide enrichment with SILM preparation has been developed with commercially available standard phosphopeptides and with α-casein as phosphorylated standard protein. The applicability of the streamlined phosphopeptide analysis procedure to cell biological and clinical samples has been tested (i) using affinity-enriched endogenous TRIM28 from cell cultures and (ii) by analysis of a two-dimensional gel-separated protein spot from a bladder cancer sample.

Abstract
With the development of special ion conversion dynode (ICD) detectors for high-mass matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS), the mass-to-charge ratio is no longer a limiting factor. Although these detectors have been successfully used in the past, there is lack of understanding of the basic processes in the detector. We present a systematic study to investigate the performance of such an ICD detector and separate the contributions of the MALDI process from the ones of the ion-to-secondary ion and the secondary ion-to-electron conversions. The performance was evaluated as a function of the voltages applied to the conversion dynodes and the sample amount utilized, and we found that the detector reflects the MALDI process correctly: limitations such as sensitivity or deviations from the expected signal intensity ratios originate from the MALDI process itself and not from the detector.
