Omni Spray™ Ion Sources
What are Omni Spray™ Ion Sources?
Omni Spray™ Ion Sources are a series of new revolutionary
ionization sources incorporating the DESI technology (Desorption
Electrospray Ionization) that was invented in the laboratory of
Professor R. Graham Cooks, Purdue University.

What is the DESI Technology?
The DESI technology is a simple, sensitive, gentle, and versatile
ionization method that allows for the direct sampling of surfaces
without any sample preparation and under ambient temperature and
pressure conditions. This patent pending technology was first disclosed
in Science, Vol. 306, #5695, pp. 471-473, October 2004.

How versatile are Omni Spray™ Ion Sources?
Omni Spray™ Ion Sources have been demonstrated in applications
that range from the detection of explosives to proteomics. Therefore,
with a single ion source scientists will be able to analyze both
large and small molecules as well as polar and non polar molecules
from a variety of surfaces. Omni Spray™ Ion Sources will ultimately
be available to interface with most commercially available mass
spectrometers.
What are the advantages of using
Omni Spray™ Ion Sources?
Omni Spray™ Ion Sources are simple to operate. They eliminate
the need for complex and time consuming sample preparation allowing
for instantaneous results. In addition to the traditional surfaces
used in a laboratory, Omni Spray™ Ion Sources enable scientists
to directly interrogate sensitive materials such as plant and animal
tissues, even a human finger, in their natural form. The sensitive
and gentle ionization method allows Omni Spray™ Ion Sources
to ionize intact proteins and non-covalent protein complexes, as
well as small molecules, all at trace levels. The spray solvent,
and other variables, can be easily changed or optimized to increase
selectivity.
