Abstract

A method of adjusting a position of a tip of an electrode relative to an end of a nebulizer nozzle of a mass spectrometry device includes providing a conduit and the electrode connected to the conduit at a first end of the conduit. The electrode tip is disposed at a first position relative to the nebulizer nozzle end. The pressure gauge is connected to a second end of the conduit. A gas ejection is initiated from the nozzle with the electrode tip at the first position. During the gas ejection, the position of the electrode tip is adjusted from the first position towards a second position relative to the nozzle end. Adjusting the position from the first position towards the second position is terminated when the pressure gauge displays a pressure condition. Once adjusting is terminated, the electrode tip is at the second position.
