Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Physical Chemistry

Background:

  • Understanding ion distribution in electrospray ionization (ESI) is crucial for mass spectrometry.
  • Previous methods for determining ion distribution were complex and time-consuming.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a simplified method for determining ion distribution within ESI droplets.
