1. A system for transporting individual particles for mass spectrometry, said system comprising:
a module configured to form individual sample droplets by merging distributed particle suspension with a carrier fluid to encase individual particles in the carrier fluid; and
a torch that receives the individual sample droplets and generates a spray that is ionized and to be received by a downstream mass analyzer.
