CaptiveSpray: Nanospray sensitivity with ESI robustness
Ease of use
CaptiveSpray provides a vortex gas sweeping the emitter spray tip that desolvates and funnels the Taylor cone to the MS inlet capillary. The vacuum seal to the MS ion guide draws all of the sample ions into the MS increasing the efficiency of sample transfer from the spray tip into the mass spectrometer. The direct connection to the inlet capillary eliminates the need for any source adjustment making the CaptiveSpray source truly Plug-and-Play.
- Vortex around spray concentrates and focuses spray into the MS source
Flexibility
The Bruker CaptiveSpray operates at a wider flow rate range than traditional nanospray. CaptiveSpray delivers stable and reproducible gradient spray from 50 nL/min to over 5 uL/min allowing the use of a wide range of column diameters to deliver optimal performance for a wide range of experiments.
Optimized MS Utilization time
CaptiveSpray allows operation at low µL flow rates which in turn reduce the gradient delay and equilibration time of the chromatography dramatically and boosts the net utilization time of the MS from typically 30-50% for nanospray to over 70% for CaptiveSpray.
