An electrokinetically pumped sheath flow nanospray interface for capillary electrophoresis coupled to negative mode electrospray mass spectrometer is described. At this interface, application of an electric field generates electro-osmotic flow at the interior of a glass emitter having an orifice. Electroosmotic flow pumps liquid around the distal tip of the separation capillary, ensheathing analyte into the electrospray electrolyte. In negative ion mode, negative potential applied to an untreated emitter drives sheath flow away from the emitter orifice, decreasing the stability and efficiency of the spray. In contrast, when the interior of the electrospray emitter is grafted with aminoalkylsilanes, the amines have a positive charge, which reverses electroosmosis and generates stable sheath flow to the emitter orifice under negative potential. Limits of detection were about 150 to 900 attomoles injected. Negative mode operation was demonstrated by analyzing a metabolite extract from stage 1 Xenopus laevis embr
