Abstract
The present invention is a system for nebulizing sample analyte containing solutions which allows liquid solution and gas entry, and is tyically utilized in combination or integration with an interface for directing sample analyte containing solution which is nebulized. The present invention provides improvement in the form of system design that prevents sample delivery tube component damage, sample solution electrical charging, sample solution 're-nebulization' effects, and sample analyte carry-over memory effects during a present invention method of use for introducing nebulized sample analyte containing solution into, for instance, a mass-spectrometer sample analysis system.
