From surface deposit to ion:

1. Formation of charged primary droplets by electrospray source2. Flight of droplets to surface, wetting of surface, dissolvation3. Collision of charged droplets with surface => smaller droplets4. Takeoff of secondary droplets, ablated material, free ions5. Transport through atm. pressure interface6. Shrinking of droplets, electrostatic fission => free ions

Formation of secondary droplets

Costa, Cooks, Chemical Physics Letters 464 (2008) 1–8

Experimental parameters

Venter et al, Anal. Chem. 2006, 78, 8549-8555

- Solvent- Solvent flow- Gas flow- Spray angle- Capillary voltage- Distance to sample surface- Angle ion collection MS- Sample surface- Distance to MS inlet- MS parameters (incl. source temp)

Solvent and spray

Dissolution of analyte in microdroplets / solvent film

Ionization; similar to LC-ESI-MS solvents⇒ MeOH or ACN with water/acid

Option to add reagents (reactive DESI)

Flow rate: 1-5 µl/min

Nebulizer gas: 8-40 L nitrogen/min

Spray droplets: ≤ 10 µm (2-4), v ≥ 100 m/s (120)

Reactive DESI

Ifa et al, Analyst, 2010, 135, 669–681

Spray voltage (kV)

Higher V => more charges on droplet surface

Levels off around 5 kV (=> default)

Nebulizer gas pressure (psi)

Solvent flow rate µl/min

Venter et al, Anal. Chem. 2006, 78, 8549-8555

Geometry

α = 25-80°β = ~5-10°Spray tip to surface= 1-10 mmSurface to MS inlet = 1-5 mm

Standard configuration DESI sources

Venter et al, Anal. Chem. 2007, 79, 6398

Alternative configurations

Green et al, Anal. Chem. 2009, 81, 2286-2293

Geometry independent configurations

Sample surface (substrate)

Surfaces:

Sample itself

Wettability: solvent formation/dissolutionElectroconductivity: more charge maintained by substrate,

more charge in sec. droplets

Pear leaf

Substrates for liquids/extracts:- Glass- PTFE (teflon)- PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate)- Filter paper- TLC plates

Test MRL compliance: Homogenisation (+extraction) => deposit on spots/slides(semi) Quantitative analysis

DESI in food contaminants control

Consideration MRL verification ⇒ MRLs expressed in mg/kg whole product⇒ requirements minimum sample size

In laboratoryDESI for fast

high throughput analysis of extracts

In laboratoryFast high throughput analysis of sampleDistribution on surface/cross sections

In-field DESI as on-site detection tool

Food forensicscrops, swops, clothing, containers, syringes

Test presence (screening, yes/no)Direct detection from sample surfaceor cross-sections of tissuesNo sample preparationQualitative

Alkaloids on Senecio jacobaea L. Stinking Willie

SummaryDESI a useful option for food contaminant analysis/controlLots of research in progress, many papers appearingLike other ambient techniques, pro’s and con’s

Features: - Direct detection from substrates, TLC, sensor chips, sample surface- Reactive DESI- Spatial resolution- Rapid detection/high throughput of sample(extracts)Quantitative determination possible with use of internal standard

Limitations:- Sensitivity (matrix suppression)- Reproducibility- MSn or high res required - residues => targeted detection

OutlookIn lab analysis:- Further improvement robustness- Rapid straightforward and selective extraction- More applications- Combi sources to extent scope

ASAP+DESI (Lloyd et al, Anal. Chem. 81, 2009, 9158)

Towards in-field:- optimization of nongeometry dependent DESI source- coupling of DESI with portable MS instruments- …..

Too much, too little, too fast, not clear?
