  • Title: Atmospheric pressure photoionization mass spectrometry.
    Author: Raffaelli A, Saba A.
    Journal: Mass Spectrom Rev; 2003; 22(5):318-31. PubMed ID: 12949917.
    Abstract:
    Atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI) is the last arrival in the family of atmospheric pressure ionization (API) methods to couple mass spectrometry (MS) to liquid-phase separation techniques. The basic idea was to further extend the fields of application of liquid chromatography (LC)-MS to those molecules that are not, or are poorly amenable, to electrospray (ESI) or APCI. The present review explores the literature. After a short introduction with an historical background and the premises for its development, we describe the technique, its physical principles, and the factors that affect its efficiency. The review also presents a survey of applications in different fields.
