The sensitivity of atmospheric pressure ionization mass spectrometry to a range of analytes in atmospheric air was studied as a function of ion source temperature between 25 and ca. 400.degree.C with a SCIEX TAGA 6000E mass spectrometer. Many sulfur and carbon bases have extremely low sensitivities at room temperature. With the samples heated, the sensitivities of many of these analytes were found to increase by several orders of magnitude, allowing for sub-part-per-billion detection of these compounds. In contrast, oxygen bases with low sensitivity at room temperature show only small sensitivity increases with increasing temperature. This was also the case for those analytes, mostly nitrogen bases, that have very high sensitivity at room temperature. The different sensitivity changes with temperature for the various analytes can be predicted on the basis of the analyte gas-phase basicities (GB) and the energetics for the gas-phase hydration of the protonated analytes.
