Mass spectrometry ionization sources for superior performance
Effective analyte ionization is the critical first step in capturing high quality data from your mass spectrometry system. A quality ion source delivers more ions to the mass analyzer, increasing coverage over a wide analyte range.
SCIEX is renowned for pioneering groundbreaking mass spectrometry ion sources that are rugged, reliable and easily interchangeable, so you get the best performance and productivity from your mass spec system.
The Turbo V ion source is our flagship ion source, delivering industry-leading sensitivity, robustness and efficiency in ionizing compounds. Our ionization technology has continued to evolve with flexible options to cover a wider range of applications and flow rates. Explore our ion sources to find the one that is right for your lab and your workflows.
Turbo V ion source
The Turbo V ion source is considered the gold standard in mass spec ionization. The innovative orthogonal design delivers outstanding ionization efficiency and robustness across many applications, covering flow ranges of 5 uL/min to 3 mL/min. This renowned ion source acts as the foundation on which SCIEX mass spec systems are built and serves as the inspiration for many of the ion sources that followed.
IonDrive Turbo V ion source
The IonDrive Turbo V ion source increases the capacity of the legendary Turbo V source, maintaining the simple orthogonal design but with higher capacity heaters and a wider sweet spot for enhanced sensitivity.
OptiFlow Turbo V ion source
A revolution in microflow separations, the OptiFlow Turbo V ion source supports flow ranges from 1 to 200 uL/min, with a simple tool-free set-up and no manual adjustments needed to achieve optimal spray conditions.
DuoSpray Turbo V ion source
Combining the two most common ionization techniques – electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) – this source allows flexibility in method development and sample analysis on SCIEX TripleTOF systems.
OptiFlow interface
A universal interface that allows fast switching between nanoflow, microflow and analytical flow regimes without the need to break vacuum on the mass spectrometer system.
