APCIAPCI
Ion formation (Aerosol/Evaporation/Ionization/Evacuation)
Heat rapidly evaporates both solvent and solutes.
APCI creates gas-phase ions at atmospheric pressure with the Corona
discharge.
Small Gas-phase ions interact with neutrals.
Volatile salt buffer are recommended.

A package of ions is accelerated by a potential Vinto a field free flight tube.
The time tfight needed for ions to reach a detector placed at distance dismeasure:
m/z = [k V/d2] t
2fight
Small ions have higher velocity than large mass ions therefore their time of flightin the tube are different and related to m/z ratio.
A high percentage of the generated ions is detected thereforethis technology provides very high sensitivity.
Fast scanning capabilities (>106 dm/dt) and no limit in mass range.
However it requires very high vacuum (10-7 torr).

Mass Analyser
A conversion dynode is used to convert either negative or
positive ions into electrons. Higher potentials on the conversion
dynodes are used to accelerate high mass ions and thereby
enhance sensitivity.
PhotomultiplierPhotomultiplier
high voltage conversion dynode (converts either positive or negative
ions into electrons)
electrons impinge onto light emmitting phosphor that is optically
coupled to a photomultiplier
photomultiplier permanently sealed in its own glass envelope. The
detector is protected from contamination and thus longer lifetimes are
achieved.
The photomultiplier has a 10 year maintenance-free lifetime.

Mass Accuracy
Ability of a mass analyzer to assign the mass
of an ion close to its true value (exact mass)
m accuracy = mreal - mmeasured
ppm = 106 * m accuracy / mmeasured
High mass accuracy (exact mass measurement)
is usually associated to high resolution analyzers
Goals :
- Unknown compound determination
Exact mass helps to define its atomic composition
- Target analysisExact mass proves the presence of a particular
ion in a mixture

Mass Accuracy vs Resolution
SensitivitySensitivity
Term used to describe the ability of the MS to respond to a given amount ofsample analyte at a given mass to charge ratio (compound dependent)
Mass Spectrometers are mass-flow sensitive device.Sensitivity = Area( or height)
Cmax x flow rate
The sensitivity of your LC/MS system is directly relatedto the efficiencies of all the processes of the entire system :
- LC separation and flow
- Interface
- Ionization
- Mass transmission
- Detection
Cmax = 4 M (N)1/2
d2 L (1+k) (2)1/2
Scan Speed (or rate)Scan Speed (or rate)
The rate at which we can acquire a mass spectrum, (mass units/sec).
Is an essential acquisition parameter for MS
Will affect the amount of information (qualitative and quantitative) thatcan reasonably be attained with a given mass analyzer.
