What Does APIMS Stand For?

APIMS stands for Atmospheric Pressure Ionization Mass Spectrometry

APIMS, or Atmospheric Pressure Ionization Mass Spectrometry, is an analytical technique used to detect and characterize chemical compounds in various environments by converting gaseous samples directly into ions at atmospheric pressure. This method enables the analysis of complex mixtures with high sensitivity and specificity, making it valuable in fields such as environmental monitoring, pharmaceuticals, and food safety. APIMS is distinguished by its ability to provide real-time data and seamless integration with other analytical methods, enhancing the overall efficiency of chemical analysis.
