HTX M3+ Sprayer with heated nozzle and integrated pump

HTX M3+ Sprayer

The HTX M3+ Sprayer is based on a patented spray nozzle design.  Originally developed to deposit “hard-to-dissolve” polymers onto sample plates the unique spray technology is well suited for matrix deposition.  The unique combination of heat (the nozzle can be temperature controlled up to 140 C), pressure (carrier solvent is delivered at high pressure by an isocratic pump) and drying sheath gas (Dry Air or Nitrogen) result in a precisely controlled solvent/matrix deposition that can be used for many matrix types.

Thanks to its advanced design, the spray nozzle delivers matrix solution from <10 µL/min to 0.250 mL/min without the frequent clogging associated with other technologies.  In addition, the spray nozzle offers several ways to control spray characteristics including:

  • Spray flow rate
  • Spray Nozzle movement and velocity
  • Spray temperature
  • Spray drying time
  • Spray composition

      Solvent-free matrix deposition via sublimation offers several advantages over typical spraying methods. It can often improve image resolution, as no solvent is ever introduced to the surface sample to induce analyte delocalization.

      • HTX AN-49 Improved image resolution and signal sensitivity of small molecules.
      • Validated protocols are available for DHB, CHCA, SA, DAN, 9-AA, and Norhamane.
      • Custom Vacuum Chamber – The HTX Sublimator features a rectangular vacuum chamber that achieve sublimation conditions extremely quickly to maximise efficiency for imaging MS sample preparation.
      • Timer Controlled Sublimation Step – Electronic controls and pre-defined matrix deposition protocols ensure sample-to-sample reproducibility and optimum matrix surface quality.
