Proprietary Heated Spray Nozzle
The HTX M3+ Sprayer is based on a patented spray nozzle design. Originally developed to deposit “hard-to-dissolve” polymers onto sample plates the unique spray technology is well suited for matrix deposition. The unique combination of heat (the nozzle can be temperature controlled up to 120 C), pressure (carrier solvent is delivered at high pressure by an isocratic pump) and drying sheath gas (Dry Air or Nitrogen) result in a precisely controlled solvent/matrix deposition that can be used for many matrix types.

Highly Uniform Deposition. Precise Controls.
Thanks to its advanced design, the spray nozzle can deliver matrix solution from 10 µL/min to 0.500 mL/min without the frequent clogging associated with other technologies. In addition, the spray nozzle offers several ways to control spray characteristics including:
Spray flow rate
Spray Nozzle movement and velocity
Spray temperature
Spray drying time
Spray composition
Product Characteristics and Key Differentiators
The ability to control spray temperature, produce super dry deposition comparable to matrix sublimation, maximize protein extraction, and prep samples in less than 10 minutes set the HTX M3+ Sprayer apart from other automated matrix deposition system.
