Features of UniSpray Ion Source
Expanding the breadth of ionization The unique geometry of the UniSpray ion source generates several different mechanisms to produce smaller droplets and enhance desolvation. These effects combine together to generate a greater number of free ions from the same amount of sample when compared to traditional ionization modes such as electrospray and typically results in an increase in response across a wide range of compounds.
The combination of a broader range of analytes and a potential boost in response give the possibility to consolidate several analysis methods into one, or even just remove the need to change over sources between analyses, saving you time and increasing your laboratory efficiency.
Robust, reproducible and easy to use The single piece probe design and bespoke probe adjuster on the UniSpray ion source allow for simple optimization and tool free routine maintenance of the UniSpray source, ensuring you get the same results, no matter who operates and maintains your instrumentation. In a study of 1000 injections of protein precipitated plasma, analyzing for caffeine, <3% RSD was observed across the entire series of injections.
Compatible with the latest TQ Mass Spectrometer for challenging compounds The UniSpray ion source is compatible with the Xevo TQ-XS, Waters' most sensitive mass spectrometer. The Xevo TQ-XS incorporates the StepWave XS™ ion guide which provides increased sensitivity for challenging compounds, and an enhanced detection system with six orders of linear dynamic range to ensure that sensitivity is accessible. Combined with the Xevo TQ-XS, the UniSpray ion source expands the scope of ultimate sensitivity analysis allowing a wider range of analytes to be ionized in a single run, delivering results for more compounds than before without having to change sources.
