Is the E Lens™ Technology Used in the OptiFlow® Pro Ion Source Compatible with Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization??｜質量分析計・LC-MS/MSシステムのSCIEX

For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Answer

No, the E Lens™ Technology integrated into the SCIEX Triple Quad™ 7500 LC-MS/MS System has been designed for electrospray ionization (ESI) mode of analysis and is not compatible with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI). E Lens Technology has improved ESI droplet desolvation and ion collection by increasing the field strength experienced by the ESI droplets, which in turn has contributed to increased ion generation and scaled up sensitivity.
