Abstract
Rationale
The objective of the present study is to investigate desorption of low-volatility analytes in Leidenfrost phenomenon-assisted thermal desorption (LPTD).
Methods
LPTD was investigated for 5 μL solutions of 0.03 ppm cocaine or morphine in methanol (sample weight: 0.12 ng) by using heated metal surfaces (240°C) polished by abrasives with grit numbers from #5000 (~3 μm) to #100 (~200 μm).
Results
The analyte signals were detected only after the complete evaporation of methanol solvent and the formed analyte residues levitated on the heater surface. The strongest ion signals were obtained with grit number #100.
Conclusions
Because the analyte residue does not come into contact with the heated surface but levitates on the hot substrate after the evaporation of the solvent, thermal decomposition of the analyte is largely suppressed. This is a great merit of LPTD for trace analysis of low-volatility and thermally labile compounds.
期刊介绍:
Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry is a journal whose aim is the rapid publication of original research results and ideas on all aspects of the science of gas-phase ions; it covers all the associated scientific disciplines. There is no formal limit on paper length ("rapid" is not synonymous with "brief"), but papers should be of a length that is commensurate with the importance and complexity of the results being reported. Contributions may be theoretical or practical in nature; they may deal with methods, techniques and applications, or with the interpretation of results; they may cover any area in science that depends directly on measurements made upon gaseous ions or that is associated with such measurements.
