Abstract

Mass spectrometry allows rapid chemical analysis of untreated samples in the ambient environment. This is a result of recent rapid progress in ambient ionization techniques. The most widely studied of these new methods, desorption electrospray ionization (DESI), uses fast-moving solvent droplets to extract analytes from surfaces and propel the resulting secondary microdroplets towards the mass analyzer. This review of DESI and other ambient methods centers on the accompanying chemical processes. Manipulation of the chemistry accompanying ambient ionization can be used to optimize chemical analysis, including molecular imaging. Solvent effects, geometry effects, electrochemical processes and mechanisms are covered. Extensions of the methodology to solution-phase analysis, to stand-off detection and to therapeutic drug analysis using miniature mass spectrometers are also treated.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 12. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 July 2022.
All research outputs
#2,863,400
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Analyst
#200
of 6,119 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#10,736
of 102,419 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Analyst
#2
of 35 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 88th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,119 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 102,419 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 35 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its contemporaries.
