ABSTRACT
A micropillar array electrospray ionization (μPESI) platform fabricated from thiol-enes with 56 individual polyethylene glycol coated μPESI chips for bioanalytical mass spectrometry is introduced. Bioanalysis capability is shown by measurement of a protein, a protein digest and a cell lysate sample. The thiol-ene polyethylene glycol (PEG) coated μPESI chip allows the use of a wide range of aqueous-organic solvent compositions and provides a detection limit at 60 zeptomole level (6 × 10
