Apci Mass Spectrometry

Atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI)-mass spectrometry (MS) and electrospray ionization (ESI)-MS can cover the analysis of analytes from low to high polarities. Thus, an ion source that possesses these two ionization functions is useful. Atmospheric surface-assisted ionization (ASAI), which can be used to ionize polar and nonpolar analytes in vapor, liquid, and solid forms, was demonstrated in this study. The ionization of analytes through APCI or ESI was induced from the surface of a metal substrate such as a titanium slab. ASAI is a contactless approach operated at atmospheric pressure. No electric contacts nor any voltages were required to be applied on the metal substrate during ionization. When placing samples with high vapor pressure in condensed phase underneath a titanium slab close to the inlet of the mass spectrometer, analytes can be readily ionized and detected by the mass spectrometer. Furthermore, a sample droplet (~2 μL) containing high-polarity analytes, including polar organics and biomolecules, was ionized using the titanium slab. One titanium slab is sufficient to induce the ionization of analytes occurring in front of a mass spectrometer applied with a high voltage. Moreover, this ionization method can be used to detect high volatile or polar analytes through APCI-like or ESI-like processes, respectively.

Abstract. Here we present an alternative approach of an atmospheric pressure interface (APi) time-of-flight mass spectrometer for the study of atmospheric ions and cluster ions, the so-called ioniAPi-TOF. The novelty is the use of two hexapoles as ion guides within the APi. In our case, hexapoles can accept and transmit a broad mass range enabling the study of small precursor ions and heavy cluster ions at the same time. Weakly bound cluster ions can easily de-cluster during ion transfer depending on the voltages applied to the ion transfer optics. With the example system of H3O+(H2O)n=0-3, we estimate that cluster ions with higher binding energies than 17 kcal mol−1 can be transferred through the APi without significant fragmentation, which is considerably lower than about 25 kcal mol−1 estimated from the literature for APi-TOFs with quadrupole ion guides. In contrast to the low-fragmenting ion transfer, the hexapoles can be set to a high-fragmenting declustering mode for collision-induced dissociation (CID) experiments as well. The ion transmission efficiency over a broad mass range was determined to be on the order of 1 %, which is comparable to existing instrumentation. From measurements under well-controlled conditions during the CLOUD experiment, we demonstrate the instrument's performance and present results from an inter-comparison with a quadrupole-based APi-TOF.
