AB Sciex Nanospray II Ion Source

The AB Sciex 1014666 Nanospray II Ion Source is a specialized component designed for use with AB Sciex mass spectrometry systems, particularly those employed in low-flow liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) applications. This ion source is crucial for generating stable electrosprays at very low flow rates, which is essential for achieving high sensitivity in proteomics, metabolomics, and other 'omics' research where limited amounts of precious biological samples are analyzed.

The NanoSpray II API (Atmospheric Pressure Ionization) Ion Source provides flexibility for both static infusion and continuous nanoflow applications from a single source, significantly improving stability and performance in nanoflow LC/MS/MS. It is compatible with various Sciex mass spectrometers, including models like the API 4000, 4000 QTRAP, and QSTAR series. This robust and stable source helps to ensure consistent high performance and meaningful results in demanding high-sensitivity analyses.

This ion source plays a vital role in the initial step of mass spectrometry by effectively ionizing analytes, which is critical for capturing high-quality data. Its design facilitates easy installation, optimization, operation, and maintenance, contributing to increased productivity and reduced downtime in analytical laboratories.
