Two techniqes are utilized: Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI) Mass Spectrometry and Electrospray Ionization (ESI) Mass Spectrometry. Dr. Byrdwell was the first author to report simultaneous use of two mass spectrometers employing APCI and ESI in a "Dual Parallel Mass Spectrometer" arrangement.
