Ambient Ionizaton Methods
Objective: Develop new methods for ionization of a variety of different molecules, from small to big under ambient conditions.
- Electro-Sonic Spray Ionization (ESSI)
- Desorption Electrospray Ionization (DESI)
- Desorption Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (DAPCI)
- Atmospheric Pressure Thermo Desorption Ionization (APTDI)
Advantages of Ambient Ionization
- No Sample preparation required
- Rapid, direct analysis of wide range of compounds
- High throughput analysis
