Agilent Jet Stream Technology
Agilent Jet Stream Technology enhances analyte desolvation by 
collimating the nebulizer spray and creating a dramatically 
“brighter signal.” The addition of a collinear, concentric, 
super-heated nitrogen sheath gas (Figure 22) to the inlet 
assembly significantly improves ion drying from the 
electrospray plume and leads to increased mass spectrometer 
signal to noise allowing the triple quadrupole to surpass the 
femtogram limit of detection.
