Plasma desorption ionization mass spectrometry (PDMS), also called fission fragment ionization, is a mass spectrometry technique in which ionization of material in a solid sample is accomplished by bombarding it with ionic or neutral atoms formed as a result of the nuclear fission of a suitable nuclide, typically the californium isotope 252 Cf ...
Techniques for ionization have been key to determining what types of samples can be analyzed by mass spectrometry. Electron ionization and chemical ionization are used for gases and vapors. In chemical ionization sources, the analyte is ionized by chemical ion-molecule reactions during collisions in the source.
A schematic diagram of chemical ionization source. Chemical ionization (CI) is a soft ionization technique used in mass spectrometry. [1] [2] This was first introduced by Burnaby Munson and Frank H. Field in 1966. [3] This technique is a branch of gaseous ion-molecule chemistry. [2]
[4] [5] Mass spectrometry ionization techniques requiring the sample to be in the gas phase have similar concerns. Electron ionization (EI) in mass spectrometry requires samples that are small molecules, volatile, and thermally stable, similar to that of gas chromatography. This ensures that as long as GC is performed on the sample before ...
The SICRIT ion source allows for coupling with various types of chromatography (GC, HPLC, SFC, etc.) as interface technology to any atmospheric pressure mass spectrometer (LC-MS). The ionization with its characteristics (see above) is not influenced by the coupling, allowing the same ionization method to be used for different chromatography ...
Atmospheric pressure chemical ionization chamber cross section. Atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) is an ionization method used in mass spectrometry which utilizes gas-phase ion-molecule reactions at atmospheric pressure (10 5 Pa), [1] [2] commonly coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). [3]
Schematic of a fast atom bombardment ion source for a mass spectrometer. Fast atom bombardment (FAB) is an ionization technique used in mass spectrometry in which a beam of high energy atoms strikes a surface to create ions. [1] [2] [3] It was developed by Michael Barber at the University of Manchester in 1980. [4]
Schematic of field desorption ionization with emitter at left and mass spectrometer at right. Field desorption (FD) is a method of ion formation used in mass spectrometry (MS) in which a high-potential electric field is applied to an emitter with a sharp surface, such as a razor blade, or more commonly, a filament from which tiny "whiskers" have formed.
