An interface for liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) was constructed that combines the principles of ion evaporation and electrospray. This device is called an "ion spray" LC/MS interface. The total effluent from a microbore LC is fed through a pneumatic nebulizer floating at .+-. 3 kV and dispersed into charged droplets in dry nitrogen at atmospheric pressure. Ions emitted by the charged droplets are mass analyzed by a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer capable of sampling ions from a region at atmospheric pressure. Ions indicating the molecular weight of a sample are observed with little or no fragmentation. Multiply charged ions in solution show multiply charged ions in the corresponding mass spectra. Collision-induced dissociation reactions generate fragment ions corresponding to structural units. The full-scan detection limit appears to be about 10 ng for ionic or selected neutral compounds and about 10 pg under selected ion monitoring conditions.
