How to Electrospray Ions with a Precision High Voltage Power Supply for Spectroscopy [Demonstration]

Presentation on fascinating usage of the state-of-the-art precision high voltage power supply from Spruce Science. In this demonstration, high voltage is applied directly to sodium liquid solution to generate tiny sodium droplets. These charged ions are then brought into a gas flame so that you can see the bright yellow light emission. The electrospray ionization coupled with optical emission spectroscopy is an analysis method that can be used to detect alkali metals for example. This analysis method is a great way to detect alkali metals and demonstrate how useful it is to have a precision high voltage power supply that is compact, lightweight and versatile. SpruceScience.com I hope this demonstration help show you how to electrospray ions using a precision high voltage power supply. Visit SpruceScience.com for more information.
