Abstract
Described are preferred processes and apparatuses for treating samples so as to form conditioned samples for analysis, such as by a mass spectrometer. The apparatuses and processes of the invention include the use of both a membrane separator and a jet separator. This combination of separation techniques results in dramatic and unexpected increases in detection limits.
