ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an LC/MS interface provided with structure that the end of a spray capillary is rarely damaged and the object is to provide the LC/MS interface which a general user can easily operate, which inhibits the extension of a separation band and the deterioration of detection sensitivity and which enables high separation and sensitive analysis. A metallic member having a hole for connecting a separation column and a spray capillary and a resin member for fixing the upstream side of the short spray capillary are used. Further, to enhance operability, spray ionization using gas spraying is used.
