5. Carefully remove the ESI probe from the probe adjuster assembly.
6. If available, fit the protective sleeve to the ESI probe tip.
ESCi mode
To run ESCi applications, you must fit an ESI probe and corona pin to the
ESI/APCI/ESCi source enclosure.
See “Installing the ESI probe” on
, “Installing the corona pin in the
source” on

Optimizing the ESI probe for ESCi operation
See the mass spectrometer’s online Help for details on how to optimize the ESI
probe for ESCi operation.
APCI mode
APCI mode, an option for the mass spectrometer, produces singly charged
protonated or deprotonated molecules for a broad range of nonvolatile
analytes.
The APCI interface consists of the ESI/APCI/ESCi enclosure fitted with a
corona pin and an IonSABRE II probe. Mobile phase from the LC column
enters the probe, where it is pneumatically converted to an aerosol, rapidly
heated, and vaporized or gasified at the probe tip.
Warning:
The ESI probe tip is sharp. To avoid puncture wounds,
handle the probe with care.
