Switching to high sensitivity low flow analyses couldn’t be easier

The robustness and simplicity you’ve come to expect from traditional analytical flow can now be experienced in your high sensitivity microflow and nanoflow analyses.

We have made this possible with standard size finger-tight fittings, and a new single-click source interface – allowing you to effortlessly connect your LC, column and mass spec. The OptiFlow source is equipped with intelligent probe recognition technology to preset system source settings and probe position, providing optimal spray and eliminating all manual adjustments.

Easy to use, low flow source technology with cutting edge features

Innovations that power your performance

Engineered with enhanced gas flow dynamics and IonDrive heaters for increased ion production and robustness, the OptiFlow source helps ensure consistency in results across multiple systems and multiple users. Extensive experiments were performed for nanoflow and microflow to find optimal probe positions, protrusions and typical gas and temperature settings.

Flexible flowrate range

Micro: 1 - 10, 10 - 50, 50 - 200 µL/min Nano: 100 – 1000 nL/min

Optimized without manual adjustments

Intelligent probe recognition technology presets system source settings to an optimal range for best spray conditions, and eliminate all manual adjustments on the source
