Atmospheric Pressure Photoionization: An Ionization Method for Liquid Chromatography−Mass Spectrometry
Abstract
Atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI) has been successfully demonstrated to provide high sensitivity to LC-MS analysis. A vacuum-ultraviolet lamp designed for photoionization detection in gas chromatography is used as a source of 10-eV photons. The mixture of samples and solvent eluting from an HPLC is fully evaporated prior to introduction into the photoionization region. In the new method, large quantities of an ionizable dopant are added to the vapor generated from the LC eluant, allowing for a great abundance of dopant photoions to be produced. Because the ion source is at atmospheric pressure, and the collision rate is high, the dopant photoions react to completion with solvent and analyte molecules present in the ion source. Using APPI, at an LC flow rate of 200 microL/min, it is possible to obtain analyte signal intensities 8 times as high as those obtainable with a commercially available corona discharge-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization source.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
