Initial matrix-assisted ionization (MAI) results showed different selectivity relative to ESI or MALDI providing information not readily obtained with current methodologies. Here, we demonstrate the first vacuum ionization source with multi-ionization capabilities on the same high-resolution API-mass spectrometer for a range of analytical problems with sensitivity in low fmol and detection limit in low amol ranges. The potential for achieving MS and MS/MS analysis speeds of ca. 4 seconds/sample in a simple low-cost fashion is demonstrated. Country unknown/Code not availableOSTI-MSA
