Pneumatically assisted electrospray,24 also called ion spray, is illustrated in Figure 22-17a. Liquid from the chromatography column enters the steel nebulizer capillary at the upper left, along with a coaxial flow of N2 gas. For positive ion mass spectrometry, the nebulizer is held at 0 V and the spray chamber is held at —3 500 V. For negative ion mass spectrometry, all voltages would be reversed. The strong electric field at the nebulizer outlet, combined with the coaxial flow of N2 gas, creates a fine aerosol of charged particles.
