Mass spectrometric techniques are typically divided into two distinct fields: atomic and molecular. Liquid sampling – atmospheric pressure glow discharge (LS-APGD) has been developed as a versatile ionization source capable of combined atomic and molecular (CAM) analysis. To date, the LS-APGD has demonstrated impressive results in U isotope ratio analysis as well as molecular analysis across a wide range of instrument platforms.1-3 While molecular sampling has been demonstrated on this source, these samples fall into the realm of ESI-type samples, larger, polar compounds, most commonly LC-relevant drug targets. Presented here will be the demonstration of the wider versatility of the LS-APGD as a CAM ionization source using the Advion expression Compact Mass Spectrometer (CMS).

Dear Customers and Partners,

During this global pandemic, the health and safety of you and our employees is our highest priority. In parallel, we remain committed to delivering solutions and providing the SERVICE to which you have grown accustomed and distinguishes us from all others. As such, we have implemented proactive measures protecting, while still serving all stakeholders during this rapidly-evolving and challenging period.

• Order Processing: We will continue to receive and process orders, ensuring their timely delivery – in strict compliance with all health regulations and with fully-maintained and executed quality processes.
• Customer Service: Our global team is fully committed to providing any support you need. But, like you, we are also subject to near-hourly changes in global travel restrictions based upon country directives, border restrictions, federal and state guidelines. In a growing number of instances, we are being denied entrance into customer facilities – which is frustrating for all involved. As an alternative, we also provide remote support via a number of digital support technologies. All incoming support inquiries will be managed with the same speed and efficiency you have come to expect from our world-class experts.
• Headquarter Visits and Entry: Under approved conditions, we will support demonstrations and training. Advion facilities are being maintained in accordance with state health compliance to meet and exceed recommendations for a safe and sanitary environment.
• Staff: Advion has implemented a flexible work policy, including the ability to work from home for all employees that are able to do so, and modifications for those who are not. This has been put in place in an effort to improve social distancing techniques to suppress the spread of COVID-19, while also allowing Advion to maintain its necessary business functions.

Our commitment to our customers and partners is unwavering. We are dedicated to you and your team; ensuring your future success. If you have any questions please contact Kristy Licari, klicari@advion.com or call 607-882-9903.

Sincerely,

Your Advion Interchim Scientific Family
