The following table lists the ion sources and interfaces that are compatible with the Stellar MS.

Compatible Ion Sources and Interfaces

Hardware

Recommended Flow Rate Range

OptaMax Plus ion source

  • H-ESI: 1–1,000 μL/min
  • ESI: 1–10 μL/min
  • APCI: 100–2,000 μL/min
  • APPI: Varies upon the spray insert selection

NOTE In APPI mode, you can use either the APCI spray insert or the H-ESI spray insert.

Easy-Spray NG ion source

10–1,000 nL/min

Nanospray Flex NG ion source

10–10,000 nL/min

NOTE The flow rate range is dependent upon the type of column that is used. If used for a capillary flow, the flow rate range is 1–10 nL/min.

N/A

Interfaces

FAIMS Pro Duo interface

100 nL/min – 1,000 μL/min

NOTE When using a high flow rate of 1,000 μL/min, set the H-ESI spray insert or APCI spray insert to the high depth position.

FAIMS Pro interface

100–1,000 nL/min
