Samples for the ESI technique must have a concentration required for analysis, summarised in this table:
Concentration required for ESI analysis |
|
MW (Da) |
µg/ml |
500 |
10-25 |
1,000 |
20-50 |
2,500 |
50-130 |
5,000 |
100-250 |
This technique is suitable for analytes with very low concentration, due to the increased sensitivity that comes with the use of nanoflows, with a 1000-time lower sample requirement.
This technique is recommended for analytes of medium-high polarity, when they are found in a very low concentration or quantity. Among these molecules we could point out, among others, organic and inorganic compounds, carbohydrates, proteins, peptides, etc.
In the case of samples with concentrations below those indicated in the table, analysis with the nanoESI source can be carried out in specific cases, after consultation.
