  • Patent number: 9852896
    Abstract: Provided herein are apparatuses that can comprise an electrospray emitter comprising a sample capillary extending from a sample inlet to a sample outlet and an element comprising a conduit coaxially disposed around the electrospray emitter thereby forming a chamber extending between the conduit and the sample capillary and terminating in a gas outlet. The element can further comprise, in some examples, a carrier gas inlet fluidly connected to the chamber, and a working gas inlet fluidly connected to the chamber, wherein the chamber is configured to provide a path for fluid flow from the carrier gas inlet and the working gas inlet to the gas outlet.
