Research Advances in Ambient Ionization and Miniature Mass Spectrometry

Publication date: March 2019Source: Chinese Journal of Analytical Chemistry, Volume 47, Issue 3Author(s): Xiang-Yu GUO, Xue-Mei HUANG, Jun-Feng ZHAI, Hua BAI, Xiao-Xu LI, Xiao-Xiao MA, Qiang MAAbstractThe development and applications of ambient ionization and miniature mass spectrometry are current research focus in chemical measurement. The analytical technology based on the combination of ambient ionization and miniature mass spectrometry can bypass chromatographic separation and eliminate or simplify sample pretreatment process. The protocol can reverse the labor-intensive and time-consuming drawbacks of traditional analytical methodologies, and realize rapid, on-site analysis with high sensitivity and high throughput. In this paper, the research progress and applications of ambient ionization and miniature mass spectrometry in the fields of food safety, consumer product safety, public security, life sciences and environmental monitoring, are reviewed, and future trends and prospects are discussed, which may provide technical guidance for the researchers engaged in relevant fields.Graphical abstractIt is a perfect marriage when miniature mass spectrometry meets ambient ionization, and their combination has extended to a variety of on-site applications. In this paper, the research progress and applications of ambient ionization and miniature mass spectrometry in the fields of food safety, consumer product safety, public security, life sciences and environmental monitoring w...
