Abstract

In today’s industry, quick and reliable analytical methods play an important role for quality control. On that account, two emerging techniques, namely direct inlet probe-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (DIP-APCI) and direct analysis in real time (DART) mass spectrometry, are particularly promising. In case of a DIP-APCI source, small amounts of solid or liquid samples can be studied without sample pre-treatment. A similar system is the DART ion source. In addition to the analysis of solid and liquid samples without pre-separation, this ion source offers the possibility to scan the surface of a sample. A method for industrial sample analysis focusing on the study of delamination of coatings from a panel was developed using DIP-APCI-Q-TOF-MS and DART-Q-TOF-MS, respectively. Comparative studies based on the conventional pyrolysis–GC–MS were carried out.
