Agilent's LC/MS ion sources include a high-volume, high-temperature, counterflow drying gas system that improves spectral quality, sensitivity, and reproducibility by reducing solvent clusters and mobile-phase adducts. Drying gas flow and temperature can easily be adjusted to match flow rate and solvent composition changes. In the Agilent multimode source, drying capacity is enhanced by powerful infrared emitters.
Together, orthogonal nebulization and a high-drying-capacity, counterflow drying gas system make Agilent's ion sources very tolerant of nonvolatile components in samples and mobile phases.  |
