Why are EI and CI techniques used in GC/MS and APCI or ESI techniques used in LC/MS? What is the difference and why are they not interchangeable?
By oleoresin extracted of using hexane in LC/MS for conforming lutein esters.
Running a parallel sample is saponified(i.e, with esters removed) which is intended to contain pure lutein.
Difference between ESI and APCI is,ESI is a source of ionization process that occur in mobile phase with addition of acid or basic compounds.
APCI is a source of ionization process that occur in a corona needle,this is performed for a electrical discharge in needle.
APCI is used to ionozation non polar molecules.
ESI is used in polar molecules or polar compounds.
