Abstract

Direct Electrospray Analysis of Bio-Molecules in Solid Materials

Author(s): Joe Wilson*

It is reported that organic compounds can be quickly and in situ analysed by combining Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS) with a newly designed Laser Ablation in Liquid (LAL) sampling technology. A method known as LAL enables laser ablation to be carried out in a liquid media that has organic compounds that have been successfully recovered from solid materials. Three chemical substances valine, alanine, and Benzyl Butyl Phthalate (BBP) were examined.
