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

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a powerful analytical technique that enables label-free
spatial localization and identification of molecules in complex samples. 1− 4 MSI …

Although multiple investigations into the benefits of directly interfacing SPME devices to MS
instrumentation for rapid analysis of complex matrices have been ongoing for over 2 …

Microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi produce a variety of specialized metabolites that
are invaluable for agriculture, biological research, and drug discovery. However, the …

The open port interface (OPI) coupled to an atmospheric pressure ion source is used to
capture, dilute, focus, and transport nanoliter volume sample droplets for high-speed mass …

Certain fungi that grow on crops can produce aflatoxins, which are highly carcinogenic. One
of these, aflatoxin B 1 can be metabolized by mammals to aflatoxin M 1, a form that retains …

Rapid and in situ profiling of lipids using ambient mass spectrometry (AMS) techniques has
great potential for clinical diagnosis, biological studies, and biomarker discovery. In this …

A multi-modal mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) and profiling approach has been applied to
assess the partitioning of the anti-TB fluoroquinolone levofloxacin into pulmonary lesions …

In this work, the establishment of a microdialysis-paper spray ionization-mass spectrometry
(MS) system was described. A homemade microdialysis module was employed for …

Direct extraction and ionization techniques using minute amounts of solvent can be
employed for the rapid analysis of chemical components in a sample without any sample …
