Obtaining Ambient Organic Aerosol Volatility Using the Filter Inlet for Gas and Aerosol Phase (FIGAERO)

Aerosols are a suspension of solid or liquid particles in a gas. They can influence the climate directly through scattering or absorption of solar radiation, or indirectly through their ability to act as cloud condensation nuclei. Tropospheric aerosols are comprised from an organic as well as inorganic phase with the organic phase being a major constituent. Organic aerosol composition is affected by both chemical and physical atmospheric processes in the gas and particle phase. Gas to particle partitioning is dependent on species volatility.

Ambient Ionization Mass Spectrometry Application in Therapeutic Drug Monitoring

Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is a quantitative test that measures drug dosage to prevent underdose or overdose in clinical practice [1]. Ultrahigh sensitivity and selectivity techniques such as mass spectrometry has superior advantages over traditional immunoassay technique in the diagnosis and quantification of therapeutic drug [2].
