Agilent Jet Stream (AJS ESI) source
The Agilent Jet Stream (AJS ESI) source uses:
• the same ionization technique as the ESI source.
• thermal gradient focusing technology, which is a process in which
super-heated nitrogen (N
2
) is used to improve ion generation and
desolvation.
• improves sensitivity 5x or more for many small-molecule compounds that
undergo electrospray ionization.
