In this review we highlight the general change in perception in the field of ambient mass
spectrometry that it is the immediacy of sample preparation that differentiates the ambient …

The main goal of metabolomics is the comprehensive qualitative and quantitative analysis of
the time‐and space‐resolved distribution of all metabolites present in a given biological …

Within this paper a sub-group of ambient ionization mass spectrometry namely direct
ionization mass spectrometry techniques are reviewed. They are characterized by the …

The definition of ambient ionization is updated from “no sample preparation” to sample
preparation proximal and in real time with the ionization and analysis step. We differentiate …

Herbal tea is a commonly consumed beverage brewed from the leaves, flowers, seeds,
fruits, stems and roots of plants species rather than Camellia sinensis L., which has been …

Ambien ionization and miniaturization of mass spectrometers are two fields in mass
