Abstract
A new built instrument suitable for laser desorption-single photon ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LD-SPI-TOFMS) with use of Vacuum-UV photons with a wavelength of 118 nm was used for the analysis of organic compounds. Fragmentation-free analysis of a variety of substances was achieved for desorption experiments with pure compounds desorbed from quartz glass filters applying low desorption energies. It was further found that the rate of fragmentation is strongly dependent on the desorption energy. Matrix effects were investigated by desorption experiments utilizing soot spiked with several organic compounds.The characteristics of the desorption process are assessed in more detail and the impact on the analysis of ambient particulate matter (PM) samples on filters are discussed. First results obtained from the application of the technique to the analysis of organic compounds from ambient PM are presented. Furthermore, possibilities of future developments of the method, in particular for analysis of ambient PM, are discussed.Keywords
