We point out the advantages of membrane inlet mass spectrometry for the measurement of nitric oxide in aqueous solution. The membrane inlet probe was a 1.0-cm segment of Silastic tubing attached to the vacuum inlet leading to the ion source. Silastic is a semipermeable silicon rubber that allows flux of uncharged substances including nitric oxide (NO). The use of such an inlet to measure NO has several advantages that we demonstrate in this report. It provides a direct, continuous, and quantitative determination of dissolved nitric oxide concentrations over long periods of real time. The use of such an inlet in our system had a response time of 5 to 7 s and a detection lower limit with the current model of 1.0 nM. This apparatus was used to measure the generation of NO from solutions of nitrite, NONOates, and nitroprusside. The usefulness of such an inlet in measuring NO in physiological systems is discussed.
