Abstract
The present invention relates to an integrated system for liquid separation, such as LC, CE, affinity chromatography, and ion exchange chromatography. A preferred aspect relates to a specialized protection means for protecting the fragile electrospray needle when not in use. Another preferred aspect relates to a specialized electrical contact means for applying voltage to the electrospray needle. The invention comprises an integrated system for liquid separation and electrospray ionization comprising: a separation column; and an electrospray emitter connected with the separation column. In one aspect there is a retractable protective sleeve () for covering and supporting the electrospray emitter () along at least a portion of its axis. In another aspect there is an electrically conducting sheath surrounding the emitter and providing an electrical connection.
