Atmospheric Pressure Mass Spectrometry
ASAP® probe
ASAP® probe
Atmospheric Solids Analysis Probe (ASAP®) mass spectrometry allows direct analysis of samples using an atmospheric pressure ionisation (API) source found on Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LCMS) instruments. The ASAP® probe permits fast analysis of solid, liquid, tissue, or material (e.g. polymer) samples.
ASAP® is a low cost alternative ionisation method that is especially useful on commercial high end API mass spectrometers which have the capability of accurate mass and mass-selected fragmentation, such as those instruments from Agilent, Bruker, Shimadzu, ThermoFisher and Waters.
The mass spectrometer must be fitted with an APCI source as this is how the ionisation is created.
Features
- Does not interfere with normal source operations on most instruments
- Compatible with ESI/APCI operations (No source change required)
- Enclosed ion source for safety (vapours are contained inside the source)
- No sample prep required, solids as well as liquids can be analysed
- Low picogram sensitivity
Ideal for high resolution instruments - Good substitute for EI/CI solids probe analysis
Note: requires APCI source
