Medium vacuum chemical ionization (MVCI) mass spectrometry (MS), a novel technique developed in our laboratory since 2021, utilizes oxonium and hydroxide ions generated from the water via corona discharge for chemical ionization. A great advantage of MVCI is orders of magnitude higher detection sensitivity over electrospray ionization. MVCI reaction is carried out in approximately 100 Pa, readily connected with supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). Fat-soluble molecules can be directly extracted by supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) from a small section of tissue or a cell placed on a frit, which can be introduced into SFC using hydraulics. The synergistic combination of high peak resolution in SFC and the elevated ionization efficiency of MVCI significantly enhances molecule identification performance.
