LIQUID DROPLET IONIZATION METHOD, MASS SPECTROMETRY, AND DEVICE THEREOF

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To identify a sample using a simple device, by ionizing the sample immediately by irradiating the sample with a laser, and by introducing the ionized sample to a mass spectrometer. SOLUTION: A liquid droplet is confirmed to have instantaneously evaporated and ionized, when the center of the dropping droplet is irradiated with a laser beam. The droplet is evaporated and ionized by accurately irradiating the dropping position of the droplet sample with the laser beam. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
