Abstract
An ambient ionisation source unit () is provided comprising: a housing () containing a first device () for generating analyte material from a surface of a sample to be analysed and a sampling inlet () for receiving analyte material liberated from the surface of the sample. The position(s) of the first device and/or sampling inlet is (are) fixed relative to the housing. Thus, the first device and the sampling inlet are integrated into a single unit that can be installed onto the front-end of an ion analysis instrument with minimal or reduced user interaction.
