NanoMate robot was coupled to a high-capacity ion trap (HCT) mass spectrometer to create a system merging automatic chip-based electrospray ionization (ESI) infusion, ultrafast ion detection, and multistage sequencing at superior sensitivity. The interface between the NanoMate and HCT mass spectrometer consists of an in-laboratory constructed mounting device that allows adjustment of the robot position with respect to the mass spectrometer inlet.

Automated chip-based nanoelectrospray   Fully automated chip-based nanoelectrospray was performed on a NanoMate BiVersa robot incorporating ESI 400 chip technology (Advion Biosciences, Ithaca, NY, USA) controlled and manipulated  by  ChipSoft  7.1.1  software  operating  under  a  Windows system. The robot was coupled to the HCT Ultra mass spectrometer via an in-laboratory made mounting system.
