A novel mass spectrometric method for probing the flash chemistry of electrogenerated reactive intermediates was developed based on rapid collision mixing of electrosprayed microdroplets by using a theta‐glass capillary. The two individual microchannels of the theta‐glass capillary are asymmetricall...
