A problem is to provide a microspray column capable of increasing the ionization
efficiency, and a high sensitive mass spectrometer and a mass spectrometric method
using such a microspray column. For solving this problem, we provide a column for
introducing a sample in an ionization source of a mass spectrometer (ESI/MS) being
designed to ionize a sample molecule with electrospray and introduce it into an
analyzer, has structural features of: (1) 0.5 m or less in an inner diameter
of a tip opening of the column; (2) 0.5 m or more and 5 m or less
in a particle size of a column filler; and (3) fritless, a microspray column having
the above (1) to (3), a mass spectrometer having such a microspray column in an
ionization source, and a mass spectrometric method capable of performing a nonoflow
electrospray with the microspray column.
