Optical and Mass Spectrometric Studies of a Helium Dielectric-Barrier Atmospheric-Pressure Plasma Jet Used as an Ambient Desorption Ionization Source

Recently there has been a surge in the field of mass spectrometry centered around the concept of rapid analysis of target analytes with minimal or no sample preparation. The target analyte undergoes desorption from its surface of origin and is subsequently ionized under ambient conditions. The techn...
