A mass spectrometric method for analyzing a vaporized sample, comprising the steps of: forcing sequentially generated charge-laden liquid drops to move towards a receiving unit of a mass spectrometer along a traveling path; establishing a concentration gradient for a target analyte so as to permit diffusion of the vaporized sample which contains at least one of the target analyte therein along a plurality of diffusing paths; and introducing the target-analyte containing vaporized sample through an inlet such that at least one of said diffusing paths intersects said traveling path so as to enable said at least one target analyte to be occluded in at least one of said charge-laden liquid drops to thereby form at least one corresponding ionized analyte for analysis by the mass spectrometer.
