Electrochemical thermospray mass spectrometry instrumentation for coupling electrochemistry to mass spectrometry

Reaction products in electrochemical processes can be identified by coupling an electrochemical thin-layer now cell to a thermospray mass spectrometer, The performance of this analytical method, electrochemical thermospray mass spectrometry, is demonstrated. This includes the characterization of the improved electrochemical thin-layer now cell, This cell offers the possibility to combine cyclic voltammograms with mass spectrometry, This goal was achieved, too, by the construction of a new thermospray ion source and a special vacuum recipient.
