Abstract
Pathogen infections present a considerable threat to global health owing to the high morbidity and mortality, and usually multiple pathogens coexist in food and the environment. Consequently, it is in urgent need to develop some multiplexed and sensitive approaches for pathogen detection. Here, we presented a novel strategy using mass tag-mediated surface engineering for simultaneous detection of multiple bacteria by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Following aptamer binding, primer amplification, and DNA hybridization, bacteria were specifically labeled by their corresponding mass tags, which could be released and ionized after laser irradiation. This strategy converted the detection of bacteria to the analysis of mass tags, allowing simultaneous detection of multiple bacteria and avoiding the dependence of microbial mass spectra databases. In addition, this approach applied two rolling circle amplification (RCA) reactions to improve both the capture efficiency and detection sensitivity of the target bacteria. The specificity and the real sample detection were evaluated, and the results demonstrated a potential application of this approach in milk safety monitoring.

Abstract
Cellular membranes are composed of a variety of lipids in different amounts and proportions, and alterations of them are usually closely related to various diseases. To reveal the intercellular heterogeneity of the lipid variation, an integrated microfluidic system is designed, which consists of droplet-based inkjet printing, dielectrophoretic electrodes, and de-emulsification interface to achieve on-line single-cell encapsulation, manipulation, and mass spectrometry (MS) detection. This integrated system effectively improves the single-cell encapsulation rate, and meanwhile reduces the matrix interference and continuous oil phase interference to the MS detection. Using this system, the heterogeneities between the normal and cancer cells are compared, and the heterogeneity of the same cells before and after the drug treatment changed obviously, indicating that this system can be used as a promising tool for studying the link between the alterations of lipid homeostasis and various diseases.
