2.2 DART: Basic Principles
� DART patent � first granted in 2005 by Cody & Laramee
� Two pivotal papers were published in 2005 (Cody et al.)
� DART introduced in 2005 as a commercial product
� DART is used for rapid ionization of small molecules under
ambient conditions
� Good suitability in analyzing most liquid, solid, and gas
samples consisting of either polar or non-polar compounds
� Analysis of food samples with simple/no sample treatment
Direct Analysis in Real Time

2. SAMPLE INTRODUCTION
2.2 DART: Basic Principles
� Multiple acceptable ionization mechanisms, mainly Penning ionization (PI), proton transfer (PT) in
the positive mode and electronic capture (EC) in the negative one
� When He is used as the carrier gas, He* collides with an atmospheric pressure water molecule and
ionizes it. The ionized water molecule then undergoes several reactions with other neutral water
molecules resulting in the formation of a protonated water cluster. The water cluster then interacts
with the analyte molecule (S) generating a protonated molecule.

2.3 DESI: Basic Principle
� No sample preparation
� Effective for polar/non-polar molecules
� Charged droplets produced from a
pneumatically-assisted ESI and directed
onto a surface to be analyzed (at PATM)
� Resulting mass spectra similar to ESI
� Composition of the spray solvent, the gas
flow rate, applied voltage, impact angle,
spray alignment… to be optimized
� Incorporation of DESI in hand-held MSn
devices would move the pre-screening in
food control from the laboratory to the
sampling site.

2.4 Paper Spray: Basic principle and application
� Ion chronograms (signal versus time) for propanolol,
500 ng deposited on paper and eluted by allowing
solvent to wick through the paper continually
� Simple technique for introducing unprocessed
samples of fluids to the MS.
� Combines paper chromatography and ESI to
enable direct analysis of dried fluids without off-
line reconstitution or liquid chromatography.

2. SAMPLE INTRODUCTION
2.5 Supercritical Fluid Chromatography: basic principle
� SFC is a form of NP chromatography
� CO2 is used as mobile phase
� CO2 has a polarity similar to n-heptane at its critical point, but the solvent strength can be
increased by increasing density or using a polar co-solvent = modifier.
� As a rule-of-thumb “…any molecule that will dissolve in MeOH is compatible with SFC…”
� As the supercritical phase represents a state in which L and G properties converge, SFC =
convergence chromatography
