Microfluidics with MALDI analysis for proteomics
J. Lee, S.A. Soper, K.K. Murray, “Microfluidics with MALDI analysis for proteomics–a review,” Anal. Chim. Acta. 649 (2009) 180–190. doi:10.1016/j.aca.2009.07.037. Abstract Various microfluidic devices have been developed for proteomic analyses and many of these have been designed specifically for mass spectrometry detection. In this review, we present an overview of chip fabrication, microfluidic components, and …

McNeese March 2009
In March of 2009, I visited McNeese State University in Lake Charles, Louisiana to give a talk and visit my collaborator Prof. Mark Merchant, “the alligator man”. Mark gave me a tour of his alligator holding facilities on campus. Mark wanted to get this alligator to open its mouth so that I could get a …
