Abstract

We present a novel method to interface a continuous-flow droplet-based microfluidic system with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Our system has remarkable advantages over existing droplet injection systems for ICP-MS such as the low price, little maintenance and robustness against clogging. In a proof of principle experiment with the novel interface, a 2 mg/kg Uranium nitrite standard solution was injected and successfully measured by ICP-MS. The synergy between droplet microfluidics and ICP-MS simplifies the ultrasensitive elemental analysis of the content of picolitre droplets.
