A cheap, versatile, readily modified, and reusable glass
probe
system enabling delivery of solid air-/moisture-sensitive samples
for mass spectrometric (MS) analysis using an Atmospheric pressure
Solids Analysis Probe (ASAP) is described. The simplicity of the design
allows quick and easy ASAP MS analyses of sensitive solid and liquid
samples without the need for any modifications to commercially available
vertically loaded ASAP mass spectrometers. A comparison of ASAP mass
spectra obtained for metal complexes under air and an inert atmosphere
is given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
