Mass Spectral Libraries - Reproducibility in EI, API and Tandem Mass Spectrometry
Date: May 15, 2009
A number of publications have recently appeared in which attempts have been made to determine the reproducibility of tandem mass spectra libraries. For several decades libraries of EI spectra have been used successfully for compound identification, especially from GC-MS data, while, in contrast, many difficulties seem to be present in trying to achieve the same success for tandem mass spectrometry data. This short essay attempts to answer the question of why this difference should occur, what is it about...

Atmospheric Pressure Ionisation of Small Molecules
Date: Nov 27, 2006
Author: Tony Mallet
Since the early 1980s many different and ingenious attempts have been made to achieve reliable and sensitive ionisation at atmospheric pressure in order to provide mass spectrometric data from molecules which were too involatile and thermally unstable to be submitted to probe or GC analysis. This article will address the application of ESI, ApCI and, to a lesser extent, the recent development of photoionisation (APPI), and direct desorption spray ionisation methods, as they are applied to small molecule...
