The gas temperature in non-equilibrium plasmas is often obtained from the plasma-induced
emission by measuring the rotational temperature of a diatomic molecule in its excited state …

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

Although the coupling of GC/MS with atmospheric pressure ionization (API) has been
reported in 1970s, the interest in coupling GC with atmospheric pressure ion source was …

In this review we highlight the general change in perception in the field of ambient mass
spectrometry that it is the immediacy of sample preparation that differentiates the ambient …

The focus of this paper is on the spatially and temporally resolved measurements of the
electric field in atmospheric-pressure plasma jets operating in helium. Using the Stark …

The definition of ambient ionization is updated from “no sample preparation” to sample
preparation proximal and in real time with the ionization and analysis step. We differentiate …

The use of atmospheric pressure ionization (API) sources has become very popular for gas
chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) determinations. GC-API-MS shows important …

A recent development in ion source research are the so-called low temperature plasmas
based on dielectric barrier discharges. As the name comprises, a feature of these ion …

In this article, some recent trends and developments in ambient desorption/ionization mass
spectrometry (ADI-MS) are reviewed, with a special focus on quantitative analyses with …

Mass spectrometry is now an indispensable tool for lipid analysis and is arguably the driving
force in the renaissance of lipid research. In its various forms, mass spectrometry is uniquely …
