Atmospheric pressure ionization methods confer a number of advantages over more traditional vacuum based techniques, in particular ease of hyphenation to a range of mass spectrometers. For atmospheric pressure matrix assisted desorption/ionization (AP-MALDI), several ion sources, operating in a range of geometries have been reported. Most of these platforms have, to date, generally demonstrated relatively low ion yields and/or poor ion transmission compared to vacuum sources. To improve the detection of certain ions, we have developed a second-generation transmission mode (TM) AP-MALDI imaging platform with in-line plasma postionization using the commercially available SICRIT device, replacing the previously used low temperature plasma probe from our developmental AP-TM-MALDI stage. Both plasma devices produce a significant ionization enhancement for a range of compounds, but the overall higher enhancement obtained by the SICRIT device in addition to the ease of installation and the minimal need for optimization presents this commercially available tool as an attractive method for simple postionization in AP-MALDI MSI.
