The invention relates to the technical field of
single cell analysis of
cell biology and
analytical chemistry, in particular to a flow type single
cell scale adjustable device for
electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and an adjusting method. According to the present invention, the detection requirements of multi-size cells can be met, the target cells with different sizes in the range of 10-100 [mu] m can be screened through the arched channel switching of the arched
shunting capture module, and the comprehensiveness of the detection sample can be ensured. According to the device, the arched channels can be rapidly switched to adapt to cells of different sizes without disassembling the device,
continuous operation of sample introduction, screening, extraction,
ionization and detection is realized through integrated flow design, high
throughput and convenience are taken into account, and the device is adaptive to diversified environmental
pollutant exposure metabolism research scenes. The
cell suspension and the
diluent are mixed on line to reduce non-volatile salt interference, the high-
voltage electric field and the sheath gas cooperate to improve
ionization efficiency, qualitative and quantitative analysis is achieved through
orbitrap mass spectrometry, reliable data support is provided for accumulation, distribution and metabolic transformation characteristics of pollutants in cells, and detection accuracy is guaranteed.
