At the heart of trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) lies the CaptiveSpray 2 and CaptiveSpray Ultra – ion sources that power ultimate performance and simplicity.
Performance. Simplicity.
Unrivaled precision and stability in chromatography
Nano-flow sensitivity perfected. Ultra-sensitive Omics made easy
Exceptional performance
The CaptiveSpray 2 and CaptiveSpray Ultra are full of comfort features to make nano-flow sensitivity as accessible as possible.
The power of compatibility
Seamless compatibility with all PepSep™, IonOpticks, and even custom self-made columns.
Simplicity redefined
Easily installed in a few seconds thanks to its “on-off” design.
Precision perfected
Zero-dead volume connections and precise 10 µm/20 µm ID emitter tips for unrivaled stability with the compatible CaptiveSpray 2 Emitter.
A new standard for performance and precision
Specifically engineered for timsTOF systems, the CaptiveSpray 2 boasts exceptional performance capabilities that elevate your experiments to greater levels.
But that's not the end of it. Exclusively crafted for the timsTOF Ultra, the CaptiveSpray Ultra pushes ionization efficiency to uncharted territories, delivering an unmatched sensitivity that exceeds all expectations.
Behind the scenes, CaptiveSpray ionization technology drives the extraordinary performance of our systems. By creating a vortex around the Taylor cone, it maximizes ion transfer, ensuring optimal sensitivity across various nanoflow rates. Additionally, it maintains a stable spray throughout the liquid chromatographic gradient, ensuring consistent and reliable results.
