New health, safety and security regulations strongly limit the use of radioactive sources ( 85Kr, 63Ni, 241Am, 210Po)  for particle or volatile charging. Therefore, there is a need for non-radioactive sources, which can be transported and used freely. In RAMEM we have undertaken and R&D effort to develop such sources. The results is a complete line of equipment to achieve charging without the use of radioactive sources.

Device for the generation of ions and charged nanoparticles from a liquid phase sample.

Features.

• High versatility: aerosol can be generated horizontally or vertically (downwards or upwards).
• User friendly: easy maintenance and exchange of tubings, capillaries and needles.
• Visual monitoring of Taylor’s cone.
• Two LEDs for a better visualization of the jet and the spray.
• Image and video capture.
• Split in two modules (control unit and electrospray unit) for increased flexibility.
• Automatic pressure control.
• Available needle inner diameter: 60, 90 & 130 microns.

Applications.

• Nanoparticle production.
• Fundamental electrospray research.
• DMA calibration.
• Source of biomolecules (DNA, proteins) for Mas Spectrometers.
