Direct analysis in real time mass spectrometry (DART-MS) has become an established
technique for rapid mass spectral analysis of a large variety of samples. DART-MS is …

This review discusses advances in the field of ambient sampling/ionization mass
spectrometry (“ambient MS” for short) with a focus on mechanistic and instrumentation …

This biennial review discusses advances in the field of ambient sampling/ionization mass
spectrometry (“ambient MS” for short) in the period ranging from January 2009 to January …

A low-temperature plasma (LTP) probe has been developed for ambient desorption
ionization. An ac electric field is used to induce a dielectric barrier discharge through use of …

Ambient ionization is a set of mass spectrometric ionization techniques performed under
ambient conditions that allows the direct analysis of sample surfaces with little or no sample …

Mass spectrometry has recently undergone a second contemporary revolution with the
introduction of a new group of desorption/ionization (DI) techniques known collectively as …

Ambient ionization mass spectrometry allows the rapid analysis of samples or objects in
their native state in the open environment with no prior preparation. Over the past six years …

Positive ions in the direct analysis in real time (DART) ion source are commonly formed by
proton transfer. However, the DART source is similar to atmospheric pressure …

Mass spectrometric ionization methods that operate under ambient conditions and require
minimal or no sample pretreatment have attracted much attention in such fields as …

Without any sample pretreatment, trace amounts of melamine in various milk products were
rapidly detected noting the characteristic fragments (ie, m/z 110, 85, and 60) in the MS/MS …
