Nanoelectrospray
From Mass Spec Terms
| DRAFT DEFINITION |
| Nanoelectrospray |
|---|
|
This term is used to describe the electrospray interface which achieves a reduction in the sample flow rates (usually less than 100 nL min-1). The reduced flow rate is due to a narrower inner diameter of the needle tip (usually 1-3 ?????????????m) and is established automatically, dependent on the potential on the needle tip. See also electrospray ionization and microelectrospray. |
| Considered between 2004 and 2006 but not included in the 2006 PAC submission |
