A capillary gas chromatograph/Fourler transform mass spectrometer (GC/FTMS) has been upgraded so that a pulsed laser operating at 266 nm can be used for multiphoton ioni-zation (MPI). MPI Is demonstrated to be a selective ioni-zation method for a variety of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) In both a test mixture and a sample of gasoline, and the selectivity is consistent with previous research. However, ions can now be detected at mass resolving powers of greater than 20000 (fwhm) up to m/z 200 by using the FT mass spectrometer rather than the often-used tlme-of-flight mass spectrometer. Detection limits for several of the PAHs are reported tobe in the low picogram range (ie, 7 pg for naphthalene) at both high (> 20 000) and low (< 5000) re-solving powers with a linear dynamic range of 2.5 orders of magnitude. Mass measurement accuracy is also evaluated, and thetypical errors are found to be approximately 1-10 ppm (5 ppm) at moderate resolving powers with low ion densities.Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) com-bines thepowerful separation abilities of GC and the excep-tional quantitative and qualitative capabilities of mass spectrometry. Because of these features, GC/MS has been applied successfully to a myriad of problems involving the analysis of complex mixtures. However, there is a limit to the ability of GC/MS to separate completely allof the components in a mixture, because of the limited “peak capacity” of any
