A new liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has been developed which allows semipermanent storage of the chromatographically separated material on a moving ribbon permitting multiple temperature analyses of a single LC separation. The new interface removes the major disadvantage of conventional moving ribbon devices by allowing analysis of a single LC separation at several different temperatures. Reconstructed ion chromatograms for the molecular ions in a standard mixture of benzopyrene, chrysene, carbazole, 7 amino-4-hydroxyquinoline, 5-hydroxyquinoline, 5-aminoquinoline, 5-hydroxy indole, and o-cresol are presented. The results are for a single injection and two passes of the separated material through desorption region at 195/sup 0/C and 285/sup 0/C. Reconstructed ion chromatograms are also presented for eight typical ions in an analysis of a biomass product for a single injection at three different ribbon passes through the flash heater.
