The Agilent G1947B APCI Source is a robust LC/MS ionization source designed for atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI). APCI is a complementary soft ionization technique to electrospray ionization (ESI) and is ideal for analyzing small polar and nonpolar compounds that ionize poorly with ESI. The source provides high sensitivity, stable performance, and supports both positive and negative ionization modes.
