Meet SESI #2

After learning the basics about SESI in our first post of the "Meet SESI" series, let's go deeper into it.

One of the main advantages of SESI is that it is an extremely soft ionization technique. There are no high-energy ions present at any point in the ionizer. But… why is this so important?

Meet SESI #1

We are back with our little educational series, which is becoming a thing in FIT! We enjoy doing it, and so we hope you do while reading!

Now it is the turn of SESI, the core of our company. So, why don't we start with the beginning?

The first Super SESI X (SSX) is is fully functional and in service.

With a 0.1 nA precision current monitoring and 100% automatic control, the SSX makes high-performance nano-electrospray truly easy to operate.

We had to adjust the mechanical latches and the sealing because this was the first time we coupled an SSX to a Q Fortis MS. Thanks to Kseniya Dryahina, Patrik Španěl, Radim from Pragolab s.r.o., and the team at the J. Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry CAS, this was completed in one day, and we were happily acquiring breath and headspace data on the second day :)

Know Your Emitter #1

Identifying the best capillary size

The electrospray (ES) emitter is an essential part of a high-res mass spectrometry system. The quality of the data is linked to a reliable ES. Despite its central importance, this little piece of equipment isn’t well known.

LESSON #1: ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL

Doe size matter?

An important, yet often undervalued, piece of mass spectrometry is the nanoES emitter. By carefuly choosing the right size, geometry, tolerance, and materials of the emitter, MS results can significantly improve. What you see is what you get!

Why automate every control of an ion source?

Electrospray provides the best performance, but obtaining a stable signal can be tricky.
The new SUPER SESI-X, designed for the Thermo Orbitrap Exploris series, is fully automatic and is ready to incorporate intelligent control. This source will auto-pilot the electrospray to bring high performance and reliability.

SUPER SESI for headspace analysis of experimental animals.

Jiayi Lan and Giorgia Greter from ETH Zürich and Zurich Exhalomics are investigating whether using Super SESI to measure air around experimental animals can be a completely non-invasive way of monitoring the influence of the gut microbiome on host metabolism. We are looking forward to seeing their results!
