A dual electrospray ionization source for use in connection with a mass spectrometer
having an inlet port. The source includes a polymer nozzle holder having a drive
axis and a pair of continuously spraying nozzles mounted to the nozzle holder at
spaced-apart positions. An adjustment mechanism allows positional adjustment of
one nozzle with respect to the other nozzle on the nozzle holder. A programmable
motor is connected to the nozzle holder at the drive axis. The motor rotationally
and reciprocally drives the nozzle holder to sequentially position each of the
nozzles in alignment with an inlet port of mass spectrometer.
