Exchangeable miniaturized mass spectrometer chip based on silicon structures

  • This paper reports a design of an exchangeable miniaturized mass spectrometry chip using spring-loaded pins and O-rings for electrical and fluidic connections. This planar microelectromechanical system (MEMS)-chip works with 300 \(\mu\)m high silicon structures between two borosilicate glasses and has a size of 13 mm × 7 mm. Because of its small size a small vacuum pump is sufficient, and it is suitable for mobile measurements and portable applications. Because of exchangeability of MEMS-chips with fluidic and electrical high voltage connections a direct comparison between chips is possible.
