Abstract: | A miniaturized, aerosol based interface for directly coupling a liquid chromatograph with a mass spectrometer is presented. The interface is entirely within the electron ionization (EI) source of the mass spectrometer and no additional, external devices are needed. This simple and effective approach exploits micro-flow nebulization technology providing a new interface suitable for a variety of applications of environmental and biological interest. The new interface provides necessary linearity, ruggedness, sensitivity, and reproducibility of response for trace level analysis, and readily interpretable mass spectra for unambiguous identification of unknown compounds of small to medium molecular weight. |
