Particle beam |
---|
An interface often used for LC/MS where the sample is separated from the solvent and then introduced into the MS for ionization. The process involves: (1) solution nebulization, (2) vaporization of the solvent to obtain unsolvated sample molecules (particles), (3) momentum separation of the particles of sample from solvent gas, and (4) introduction of the particles into the MS for ionization (EI, CI, or desorption technique). |
