atmospheric pressure chemical ionization

A ionization method used in mass spectrometry. It is a form of chemical ionization which takes place at atmopheric pressure. This ionization technique allows for the high flow rates typical of standard bore HPLC to be used directly, often without diverting the larger fraction of volume to waste. Typically the mobile phase containing eluting analyte is heated above 500 degrees Celsius in a ceramic needle, sprayed with high flow rates of nitrogen and the entire aerosol cloud is subjected to a corona discharge that creates ions. APCI is better for non-polar or low molecular weight molecules compared to ESI which is better for polar or high molecular weight molecules.update site2_product.biology_glossary set commentate='The property of antibodies which enables them to react with some antigenic determinants and not with others. Specificity is dependent on chemical composition, physical forces, and molecular structure at the binding site.
