Method and System that Simplifies Sample Prep and Pretreatment for Mass Spectrometer Analysis
Researchers at Purdue University have developed a new approach for liquid-solid phase-liquid extractions and provides systems and methods that allow for the combination of sample preparation and pretreatment with the ionization process. Using a thin capillary tube and coating the inner surface with layers of adsorbents, it is possible to maintain full control of the extraction process. The thin capillary tube allows for the quantitative analysis of small sample amounts. In addition, the extraction capillary can serve as an ionization probe, allowing for the extraction, treatment, and analysis by mass spectrometry without separate sample preparation or pretreatment of a target analyte in a sample.
