A device for mass spectroscopy comprising a chamber configured to provide
an atomization source, a boost device configured to provide radio
frequency energy to the chamber, and a mass analyzer in fluid
communication with the chamber and configured to separate species based
on mass-to-charge ratios is disclosed. In certain examples, a boost
device may be used with a flame or plasma to provide additional energy to
a flame or plasma to enhance desolvation, atomization, and/or ionization.
