The invention discloses an
electrospray ionization mass spectrometry
ion source based on a low-frequency alternating-
current voltage strategy and a use method of the
electrospray ionization mass spectrometry
ion source. The
ion source comprises a nanoliter
electrospray needle used for loading a sample solution; the
metal electrode is inserted into the nanoliter electrospray needle and is in direct contact with the sample solution; the
signal generator has a plurality of
signal output functions; and the high-
voltage amplifier has a
voltage amplifying function, a
signal input end is connected with the
signal generator, and an output end is connected with the
metal electrode. Firstly, a
signal generator is used for generating an
alternating current signal with specific waveform, frequency, peak-to-
peak value and duty ratio, and the signal is amplified by a high-
voltage amplifier and then directly acts on a nanoliter electrospray needle to generate electrospray; meanwhile, the amplified signal is monitored in real time by an
oscilloscope. The low-frequency alternating-current nano-
liter electrospray
ion source involved in the invention is named as LFAC-nESI. Compared with a conventional nanoliter electrospray (nESI)
ionization method, the method provided by the invention has an online desalting function, can significantly improve the signal-to-
noise ratio and analysis sensitivity of a to-be-detected object, and is more practical.
