Abstract:
A new electrospray emitter capable of cone-jet mode spray for liquid flow-rates from sub-microliter/minute to 10's of microliters/minute is provided. The high efficiency of ionization and vaporization enabled by the disclosed spray emitter provides improved sensitivity for mass spectrometer detection. The disclosed spray emitter sprays consistently and robustly a liquid buffer having a large range of compositions of aqueous and organic solvents, and is not sensitive to the polarity of the electric field used to induce spray. The fluidic channel leading to the spray emitter opening does not have an internal taper rendering the spray emitter clog-resistant.

Claim (Index 9):
The spray emitter of  claim 1 , wherein the emitter body has a first portion that terminates at the first end and a second portion that terminates at a second end, the second portion having an outer diameter that is greater than an outer diameter of the first portion, the second portion having a hollow space that is in fluid communication with the inner channel, the hollow space being configured to receive a tube for delivering the fluid to the inner channel, the inner space having an inner diameter greater than an inner diameter of the inner channel.
