Electrospray ionization
ID: electrospray-ionization
Electrospray ionization (ESI) is a soft ionization technique commonly used in mass spectrometry to produce ions from large biomolecules, such as proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids, without causing significant fragmentation. The technique involves the generation of charged droplets from a solution containing the analyte, which are then evaporated to produce gas-phase ions.
