Soft ionization methods, specially the ionization with UV light is prefered. The actual technology is based on one-photon ionization, based on an innovative vacuum ultraviolet light source. The advantage of this ionization methode is that substances can be measured directly in complex mixtures. Time-consuming seperation techniques combined with MS (e.g. GC) are not needed. That is why MS containig soft ionization is ideally suited for process monitoring and quality control.
