Experimental electrohydrodynamic nanospray production using drawn glass capillaries
This article describes a simple and low-cost method of fabricating glass capillary nanospray emitter sources, and, if required, inserting a charging electrode. Initial experimental work employing such a source is described, whose results suggest that whilst the positioning of the charging electrode relative to the orifice influences the charging current and spray considerably, this position may not correspond with that previously reported as being ideal for electrospray systems one or two orders of magnitude greater.
