Electrospray ionization (ESI) is often affected by corona discharge when spraying 100% aqueous solutions as the voltage that induces discharge can be well below the onset voltage of ESI. As a result, it is especially challenging to perform native mass spectrometry in negative ion mode where 100% aqueous solution is preferred. Here we report a simple instrumentation method to improve the performance of ESI in negative ion mode based on capillary vibrating sharp-edge spray ionization. By attaching a fused silica capillary emitter to a vibrating glass slide, improved signal quality is achieved for various analytes in aqueous solutions over applying ESI alone. Compared to commercial ESI sources using nebulization gas to reduce discharge, 10-100-fold enhancement in signal intensity and 3-10-fold improvement in S/N are achieved for various kinds of molecules including DNA, peptides, proteins, and oligosaccharides. Finally, the new method demonstrates utility for native mass spectrometry analysis of proteins and G-quadruplex DNA. The present method is expected to have great potential to be adopted by the scientific community because of its improved analytical performance, simplicity, and low cost.
