Ion sources used in LC-MS 9 ionization high-energy exciting or attach other ion to the sample hard or soft ionization properties of sample : mass, stability other concerns what kind of data you want?? continuous sample introducing large amount of solvent large amount of vapor operate under atmospheric pressure
Electrospray ionization 電灑游離, ESI 10 1 atm vacuum 1.5-2 kv
11 ESI needle tip min. flow rate : ~20 nl/min sampling cone (to analyzer) solvent of high polarity : water, ACN (acetonitrile, CH 3 CN), methanol with volatile acid (H + source) : formic acid, acetic acid
12 ESI : M + nh + [M + nh] n+ multiple charged ions advantage? disadvantage? very soft van der Waals complex ion is possible!! sample small to macro molecules sample : 17 kda protein high polarity
Atmospheric pressure photoionization 13 大氣壓光游離, APPI 霧化器 analyzer
14 energy of photon solvent dopant dopant ion react with sample ionization of sample enough to ionize sample or dopant not enough to ionize O 2, N 2
