Abstract:
A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising an atmospheric pressure interface comprising a gas cone  6  having an inlet aperture, wherein the gas cone  6  has a first longitudinal axis arranged along an x-axis and an Electrospray ion source comprising a first capillary tube  2  having an outlet and having a second longitudinal axis and a second capillary tube  3  which surrounds the first capillary tube  2 . The mass spectrometer further comprises a desolvation gas supply tube and a first device arranged and adapted to supply an analyte liquid via the first capillary tube  2  so that the liquid exits the outlet of the first capillary tube  2  at a flow rate >200 μL/min. The mass spectrometer further comprises a second device arranged and adapted to supply a nebuliser gas via the second capillary tube  3  at a flow rate in the range 80-150 L/hr, wherein an outlet of the first capillary tube  2  is arranged at a distance x mm along the x-axis as measured from the centre of the gas cone inlet aperture, a distance y mm along a y-axis as measured from the centre of the gas cone inlet aperture and a distance z mm along a z-axis as measured from the centre of the gas cone inlet aperture. The x-axis, the y-axis and the z-axis are mutually orthogonal. The desolvation gas supply tube surrounds the second capillary tube  3  and the mass spectrometer further comprises a third device arranged and adapted to supply a desolvation gas via the desolvation gas supply tube at a flow rate in the range 400-1200 L/hr, a heater  4  arranged and adapted to heat the desolvation gas to a temperature ≥100° C. and a fourth device arranged and adapted to supply a cone gas to the gas cone  6  at a flow rate in the range 40-80 L/hr and wherein x is in the range 2.0-5.0 mm and wherein the ratio z/x is in the range 1-5:1.

Claim (Index 31):
A mass spectrometer as claimed in  claim 20 , wherein said analyte liquid supply is arranged and adapted to supply said analyte liquid via said first capillary tube so that said liquid exits said outlet of said first capillary tube at a flow rate >200 \u03bcL/min.
