UniSpray Ion Source
Ionize a broader range of compounds
UniSpray is a new form of ionization invented and developed exclusively by Waters. This innovative new source provides more comprehensive ionization than with any other single technique, allowing users to see more of their sample from a single analysis.
Compared to electrospray ionization (ESI), atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) or atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI), Waters UniSpray can ionize a broader range of compounds and unlock the potential for increased sensitivity.
With features like the single-piece probe design and target pin, users can significantly reduce the need to change ionization source between different analyses and achieve easy tool-free routine maintenance.
UniSpray Ion Source
Overview
- Achieve greater ionization efficiency with a broader range of compounds ionized in a single run and potential for increased sensitivity
- Save time and increase productivity and efficiency by reducing the need to change ionization source between different analyses
- Minimize and simplify routine maintenance with tool-free routine maintenance for capillary and target pin replacement
Recommended Use: For ionizing a broader range of analytes in a single run.

Expand the breadth of your ionization
The unique geometry of the UniSpray ion source generates several different mechanisms to produce smaller droplets and enhance desolvation. These effects combine to generate a greater number of free ions from the same amount of sample when compared to traditional ionization modes like electrospray and typically results in an increase in response across a wide range of compounds.
The combination of a broader range of analytes and a potential boost in response give users the possibility to consolidate several analysis methods into one, or even just remove the need to change over sources between analyses, saving them time and increasing their lab efficiency.
Robust, reproducible, and easy to use
The single-piece probe design and bespoke probe adjuster on the UniSpray ion source enable simple optimization and tool free routine maintenance of the UniSpray source, ensuring you get the same results, no matter who operates and maintains your instrumentation. In a study of 1000 injections of protein precipitated plasma, analyzing for caffeine, <3% relative standard deviation (RSD) was observed across the entire series of injections, showing excellent reproducibility.
High efficiency, broad applicability
Available on the full range of Waters Universal Ion Source compatible mass spectrometers, UniSpray expands the scope of your analysis by enabling a wider range of analytes to be ionized in a single run and delivering results for more compounds than ever before without having to change sources.
