1.3.8 Ionisation via APCI<br />

Since a significant portion <strong>of</strong> the studies employed for hydrocarbon analyses has<br />

used APCI as an ionisation technique, I would like to give an insight about this<br />

ionisation technique. APCI is an ionisation method used in mass spectrometry. It is<br />
