Atmospheric pressure chemical ionization

A variant of chemical ionization performed at atmospheric pressure.

Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI) - The formation of ionized species when gaseous molecules interact with ions (reagent ions) at atmospheric pressure. The reagent ions are formed by a corona discharge of the vaporized solvent introduced into the system.
