DRAFT DEFINITION
Microelectrospray

Electrospray ionization at a solvent flow rate less than 1 μL/min.

Considered between 2004 and 2006 but not included in the 2006 PAC submission

REVISION 5
Microelectrospray

Electrospray ionization at a low solvent flow rate, typically several microliters per minute or lower, where a pump is used to provide the sample flow.

Related term: nanoelectrospray.

JOURNAL OF CHROMATOGRAPHY GLOSSARY
Microelectrospray

A form of electrospray ionization at a low solvent flow rate that is typically several microliters per minute or lower. In contrast to nanoelectrospray, a pump is used to provide the liquid flow; however dynamic nanoelectrospray is also used to describe this configuration.
