What Does ES Stand For?
ES stands for Electrospray Used Before MS For Mass Spectrometry
ES, or Electrospray Used Before MS For Mass Spectrometry, refers to a crucial ionization technique employed in mass spectrometry. This method involves creating a fine aerosol of charged droplets from a liquid sample, which is then subjected to a high electric field. As the solvent evaporates, ions are released into the gas phase, allowing for the analysis of biomolecules and other compounds with high sensitivity and resolution. ES is particularly valued for its ability to analyze large, polar molecules, making it a vital tool in biochemical and pharmaceutical research.
