A cautionary note on the effects of laboratory air contaminants on ambient ionization mass spectrometry measurements
Abstract
Ambient ionization mass spectrometry methods are convenient, sensitive and require little sample preparation. However, they are susceptible to species present in air surrounding the mass spectrometer. This study identifies some challenges associated with the potential impacts of indoor air contaminants on ionization and analysis involving open‐air methods.
