Benefits of a multimode source

Figure 21
The multimode source is an ion source for LC/MS that can operate as an APCI,
ESI or simultaneous APCI/ESI source. See
to operate at normal chromatographic flow rates 50 to 2000 µL /min. The
multimode source can be run in three different modes of operation (MM-ES,
MM-APCI or MM-ES+APCI).
Why use the multimode source?
• A single ion source with a single nebulizer performing MM-ES, MM-APCI, or
• MM-ES to MM-APCI without source exchange
• Operates in MM-ES only, MM-APCI only, or MM-ES+APCI mixed mode
• Operates at typical HPLC flow rates up to 2 mL/min, even in MM-ES mode
• Multimode source provides higher throughput for data requiring validation
• More universal response
