The cylindrical, polished glass cuvette was run under an ionizer to minimize unwanted light scatter and static charge before each experiment. |
The software allows for complete head control with mass scale tuning, sensitivity calibration, and ionizer setup. |
The voltage value is set to provide a balanced ion condition in the work space near the electrical ionizer. |
A special brush is supplied with the monitor to clean the ionizer as its gets dusty with use. |
The third electrode may also be used to switch the mode of operation of the discharge source from a gas phase ionizer to an electrospray ionizer. |
Bailey W. Mitchell, an agricultural engineer, developed the ionizer system, in cooperation with veterinarian Henry D. Stone. |
