The thermal gradient focusing technology used in the Agilent Jet Stream high sensitivity ion source extends the sensitivity of electrospray ionization for a wide array of applications and flow rates.

This exclusive technology for high-sensitivity MS uses superheated nitrogen to improve droplet desolvation and ion generation, for a stronger signal and reduced noise. It offers the highest sensitivity for most analytes, and a response that is five-fold higher or more relative to standard electrospray ionization.
