Mass spectrometry (MS) is widely used in the food safety area, being fully implemented in
both routine analysis and research laboratories. Indeed, MS is considered an essential tool …

Mass spectrometry frequently reveals the existence of transient gas phase ions that have not
been synthesized in solution or in bulk. These elusive ions are, therefore, often considered …

The prototype of a highly versatile and efficient preparative mass spectrometry system used
for the deposition of molecules in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) is presented, along with …

Gaseous fragment ions generated in mass spectrometers may be employed as “building
blocks” for the synthesis of novel molecules on surfaces using ion soft-landing. A …

The ion conversion processes in CH2Cl2-enhanced vacuum ultraviolet photoionization of
oxygenated volatile organic compounds (OVOCs) have been systematically studied by …

When studying viruses, the most prevalent aspects that come to mind are their structural and
functional features, but this leaves in the shadows a quite universal characteristic: their …

Here, we present a new and an easy to assemble dielectric barrier discharge plasma
ionization source based on printed circuit boards with two parallel isolated electrodes for …

Rationale Secondary electrospray ionization (SESI) in a water spray environment at
atmospheric pressure involves the reactions of hydrated hydronium reagent ions, H3O+ …

We present the design and performance of an in‐house built electrospray ionization‐mass
spectrometry (ESI‐MS) interface equipped with an S‐lens ion guide. The ion source was …

Glass or metal inlet capillaries are commonly used for flow restriction in atmospheric
pressure ionization mass spectrometers. They exhibit a high ion transmission rate and …
