The effects of modifiers on electrospray ionization for small-to-medium-sized molecules in comparison with solution-phase ionization
Rapid Commun Mass Spectrom. 2024 Jul 15;38(13):e9749. doi: 10.1002/rcm.9749.ABSTRACTModifiers are essential additives in electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometric analysis to enhance the production of ionic species in the gas phase for the detection of small-to-medium-sized molecules in biological and aqueous samples. Therefore, an appropriate modifier, in conjunction with the right ionization polarity, is crucial for sensitive ESI mass spectrometric analysis. However, the charge carried by basic and acidic functional groups in solution is neither quantitatively nor qualitatively reflected in the MS spectrum. For ex...

Simulation study of digital waveform-driven quadrupole mass filter operated in higher stability regions for high-resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry
CONCLUSION: The results demonstrate that the use of a frequency-scanned, duty-cycle-modulated digital QMF as the mass analyzer for ICP-MS has the potential to produce high resolution while maintaining considerable transmission, thus overcoming most spectral interferences in elemental MS.PMID:38616299 | DOI:10.1002/rcm.9753 (Source: Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry : RCM)
