The main advantage of the APCI interface for the LC-MS analysis of synthetic polymers resides in its compatibility with the main chromatographic modes: reversed-phase liquid chromatography, normal-phase liquid chromatography, and size exclusion chromatography in organic phase, with the usual flow rates. Moreover, APCI can be used in positive or negative modes. Representative applications are described to highlight benefits and limitations of the LC-APCI-MS technique with the analysis of industrial polymers up to molecular masses of 5 kDa: polyethers; polysiloxanes; and copolymers of siloxanes. Results are discussed in regard to those obtained by more classical techniques: SEC and MALDI-MS. The use of an APCI interface in LC-MS and SEC-MS coupling applied to synthetic polymers is efficient up to 2000-4500 Da. The main drawback of the APCI interface is the in-source decomposition that is observed above m/z = 2000-3000 and can induce an underestimation of average molecular weights. However, APCI allows detection on a wide range of polarity of sample/solvent and appears to be complementary to ESI.

Atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) is often used in the analysis of linear saturated hydrocarbons (LSHs) as this ionization technique commonly produces [M - H] ions in high abundance. However, APCI (along with other atmospheric pressure sources) is often impacted by in-source oxidation, leading to a variety of ionic products. Identifying these products and understanding their mechanisms of formation is crucial for characterizing complex mixtures with substantial hydrocarbon content, such as those found in the petrochemical industry.

The release mechanism of odorants in the oral cavity during consumption directly affects sensory attributes, consumers' preferences, and ultimately purchase intent. Targets was set to monitor in real-time the key odorants released from grilled eel during mastication via an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (APCI-MS) connected with a nose interface. The release and perception of odorants during mastication were divided into three distinct phases.

Proton-transfer-reaction (PTR) mass spectrometry (MS) is capable of detecting trace-level volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in gaseous samples in real time. Therefore, PTR-MS has become a popular method in many different study areas. Most of the currently reported PTR-MS applications are designed to determine volatile compounds.

Identification of 19 molecular species of globotriaosylceramides (Gb) in extracts from a Fabry's plasma patient and a healthy control was performed by High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC)-densitometry and online coupling to Mass Spectrometry (MS). Separation was carried out on LiChrospher plates using Automated Multiple Development (AMD). Densitometry was performed on twin plates by combining detection in the visible at 550 nm, through previous on-plate orcinol derivatization, and by Ultraviolet 190 nm, using a non-impregnated plate.
