Title: Cesium ion desorption ionization with Fourier transform mass spectrometry

Journal Article · · Anal. Chem.; (United States)

Cesium ions (Cs/sup +/) are used for the production of the feed ions necessary to obtain Fourier transform mass spectra (FTMS). The molecule chosen for the initial study of this Cs/sup +/ desorption ionization (DI-FTMS) was vitamin B-12 because of its nonvolatile, thermally labile character. 21 references.
