What Is the PerkinElmer Sciex Turbo Ion Spray (Turbo V) Source?

The Turbo V Ion Source (commonly referred to as Turbo Ion Spray Source) is a highly robust and efficient ionization module for LC‑MS/MS systems, originally developed by PerkinElmer and further advanced by SCIEX. Here's a breakdown of its key features and function:

Ionization Modes

Electrospray Ionization (ESI):

Uses a TurboIonSpray® probe.

High-voltage spray creates charged droplets, while two heated nitrogen gas jets—in an orthogonal configuration—enhance desolvation by intersecting the spray at ~90°, leading to efficient ion generation.

Artisan Technology Group

Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI):

Employs a different APCI probe.

The sample is nebulized, vaporized via a heated ceramic tube, then ionized via a corona discharge near the orifice.

Design and Performance Highlights

Iconic orthogonal spray design with simplicity and durability. Uniform temperature distribution and optimized curtain gas flow contribute to its high ruggedness and low maintenance needs.

Robustness & Productivity

The design supports multi-day stability, with studies showing <3.5% variance in raw peak areas across 1,500 continuous injections in complex biological matrices.
