Electrospray ionization

Electrospray ionization (ESI) is a technique used in mass spectrometry to produce ions. It is especially useful in producing ions from macromolecules because it overcomes the propensity of these molecules to fragment when ionized. The invention of electrospray ionization was rewarded with the attribution of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry to John Fenn in 2002.
