Detection of Hydrazine in Air Using Electron Transfer Ionization Mass Spectrometry.
Abstract
A simple direct analytical method for the detection of hydrazine (N2H4) in air is described. The N2H4 is ionized in electron transfer collisions with a low kinetic energy projectile ion (H(+)) under well-controlled conditions in a collision chamber. A single product ion is formed. Interference by background air is not observed. The product ion is detected using a quadrupole mass spectrometer. Preliminary estimates of the detection sensitivity of the present instrument configuration for N2H4 are discussed.
