Experimental conditions for MS Analysis.
E N D
Experimental conditions for MS Analysis For direct APPI, each of the solutions was injected into the APPI source at a flow rate of 40 µL/min using a Harvard (Holliston, MA, USA) Model 11 syringe pump. The APPI source temperature was held at 400°C. Other operating mass spectrometric parameters were as follows: 10, 5, and 0 arbitrary units for the sheath, auxiliary, and sweep gas flow rates, respectively; 300°C for the capillary temperature; 15 V for the capillary voltage; and 70 V for the tube lens. Boil-off from liquid nitrogen was used as both the sheath and auxiliary gases for the ionization source.
