Abstract

We present the simple and rapid microfluidic desalting systems, which are 3-phase desalting system using simple diffusion and (3+2)-phase desalting system based on the coupling of simple diffusion and affinity of urea. The facilitative desalting system is particularly useful for removal of urea and analysis of protein by mass spectroscopy because urea is removed by the mass transfer with the difference of concentration, molecular size and the affinity of urea to copper (II) ion resulting the complex. We also evaluated the activity and MALDI-TOF-MS spectrum of red fluorescent protein (RFP) for protein analysis.
