Pneumatically assisted electrospray ionization

An electrospray process where pneumatic nebulization (e.g., N2) assists in the initial nebulization of the liquid introduced into the electrospray system (vs. nebulization through charging of the liquid). The process is often used to obtain electrospray spectra at higher flow rates (e.g., >0.2 mL/min) and with solvents with high surface tensions (e.g., water).
