Want to add efficiency to your lab and get more comprehensive results? The Ionique automated multi-ionization platform is unique providing multiple ionization methods in a lightweight unit allowing ready replacement of the commercial ion source in minutes. No need for a dedicated mass spectrometer. Software provides templates for close alignment and a simple intuitive fine alignment protocol so that setup is fast and easy.
Selection of electrospray ionization (ESI), matrix-assisted ionization (MAI), and solvent-assisted ionization (SAI) is by a mouse click. Because sample is delivered to the ionization region using a metal capillary which is washed between acquisitions, no expensive consumables are necessary. ESI and SAI only use washing solutions, and MAI requires in addition a matrix solution. Sampling from 96 and 384 well plates as well as vials and Eppendorf tubes is available.
Typically 1 microliter of solution is sprayed in ESI achieving sensitivity comparable to commercial ESI sources. For SAI and MAI only 0.1 – 0.2 microliters of analyte solution is used.
