A key component of the system is the electrospray ion source, which converts the molecules (or ions) in the liquid phase to gas-phase ions. The mechanism of electrospray ionization is complex and although the ESI technique is widely used, its mechanism is still not fully understood. An important feature of ESI is that not all molecules are readily ionized by ESI. The general principles and features of molecular structure governing the efficiency of ESI ionization are known, but there is still a long way to go until the full understanding of the process is gained.<br \/>\nChair of Analytical Chemistry of University of Tartu is strongly involved in unraveling the mystery of\u00a0ESI ionization mechanism. As a tool for this an extensive <a href=\"file:\/\/lisa.chem.ut.ee\/ivo\/public_html\/Chrom_MS\/ESI%20Ionization%20efficiency%20scale.pdf\">scale of ionization efficiencies containing 62 compounds with ionization efficiencies ranging by a factor of about 1 000 000<\/a> has been compiled and is further supplemented by adding more compounds.<br \/>\nThis scale was presented at the 14th Nordic MS Conference.
