Electrospray Ionization

Phase Transition

An analytical interface transforms liquid samples into gas phase ions through the application of a strong electric field at the capillary tip. Protein identification in high end textiles uses electrospray ionization to deliver large, intact keratin molecules into the mass spectrometer. This soft technique avoids the fragmenting of delicate peptide chains during the transfer process.

Ion Creation

Droplets travel toward a counter electrode while solvent evaporates at a high rate. Through electrospray ionization, the remaining molecules carry multiple positive charges that effectively lower the mass to charge ratio for easier detection. This feature allows technicians to see long amino acid sequences that would otherwise be outside the scan range of typical hardware.

Sample Purity

Success in the detection window requires a feed free from non-volatile salts and residual detergent. Excessive concentrations of processing chemicals can hinder electrospray ionization by blocking the formation of a fine mist. Modern systems use inline separation to clean the sample right before it enters the high voltage zone.

Operating Parameter

Flow rate and temperature govern the quality of the signal produced during the run. Precise electrospray ionization settings ensure that the cloud of ions is steady enough for high resolution data collection. When these variables fluctuate, the resulting data peaks may blur and make it impossible to identify specific breeds of livestock from hair samples.
