THIN LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHY COMBINED WITH FLAME-INDUCED ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE CHEMICAL IONIZATION MASS SPECTROMETRY (FAPCI/MS) FOR VOLATILE AND SEMI-VOLATILE COMPOUND ANALYSIS

摘要

The combustion of hydrocarbons in a flame produces reactive ion species. In addition, the high temperature generated in a flame allows thermal desorption of small compounds on surfaces. A flame is therefore directed toward the sample to characterize analytes on surfaces, so called desorption flameinduced atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (DFAPCI). In this study, thin layer chromatography (TLC) was combined with DFAPCI/MS to analyze a mixture.
