Abstract
► Ambient ionization technique allows the direct analysis of sample surfaces with little or no sample pretreatment. ► We sort ambient ionization techniques into three main analytical strategies, direct ionization, direct desorption/ionization, and two-step ionization. ► The underlying principles of operation, ionization processes, detecting mass ranges, sensitivity, and representative applications of these techniques are described and compared.
