Minor compounds in complex organic matrices represent an analytical challenge to organic mass spectroscopists, both in their detection and in structure elucidation. A low-pressure microwave-induced plasma interface was exploited to convert all carbon-containing compounds in a capillary GC effluent to CO and CO/sub 2/ which can be measured in a conventional mass spectrometer without loss of chromatographic resolution and with a detection limit of 300-500 dpm. The chromatographic resolution obtained with the interface when a sample of isomeric hexanes was injected and separated at room temperature was given. The potential of the technique as a radioactivity monitor was assessed with a sample of methy (1-/sup 14/C) palmitate which was chromatographed isothermally at 215/sup 0/C. The reaction GC/MS interface is not limited to oxygen as the reactant gas nor to carbon as the analyzable element. Complete reaction of carbon either with nitrogen to form HCN and (CN)/sub 2/ or with H/sub 2/ to form CH/sub 4/ was seen. The use of a destructive interface has the advantage of generality; no information is needed about the position or the chemistry of the element or nuclide under investigation. 3 figures.
