Abstract
A device for mass spectroscopy comprising a chamber configured to provide an atomization source, a boost device configured to provide radio frequency energy to the chamber, and a mass analyzer in fluid communication with the chamber and configured to separate species based on mass-to-charge ratios is disclosed. In certain examples, a boost device may be used with a flame or plasma to provide additional energy to a flame or plasma to enhance desolvation, atomization, and/or ionization.

26. A method comprising:
-
providing inductive energy into a chamber from an induction device to sustain an atomization source within the chamber using inductive energy from an induction device; and providing additional radio frequency from a boost device into the chamber comprising the sustained atomization source from a boost device, in which the boost device is separate from the induction device. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)

36. A method comprising:
-
providing inductive energy into a first chamber from an induction device to sustain an atomization source within the first chamber using inductive energy from an induction device; and providing radio frequency from a boost device into a second chamber, fluidically coupled to the first chamber, in which the boost device is separate from the induction device and in which the first chamber is separate from the second chamber. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45)
