Abstract
An ionizing system includes a channel and a heater coupled to the channel. The channel has an inlet disposed in a first pressure region having a first pressure and an outlet disposed in a second pressure region having a second pressure. The first pressure is greater than the second pressure. The heater is for heating the channel, and the channel is configured to generate charged particles of a sample in response to the sample being introduced into the channel
Claims20
An ionizing system, comprising:
- a channel having an inlet disposed in a first pressure region having a first pressure and an outlet disposed in a second pressure region having a second pressure, the first pressure being greater than the second pressure;
- and
- a heater coupled to the channel for heating the channel,
- wherein the channel is configured to generate charged particles of a sample in response to the sample being introduced into the channel.
