In this work, the formation of the Taylor cone in high-vacuum electrospray ionization using a static magnetic mass-spectrometer was studied. A simple vacuum electrospray ionization source was designed and combined with a mass-spectrometer. The effect of the solution composition, flow rate, high voltage and temperature on the formation of charged liquid droplets was determined at highvacuum conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
