An atmospheric pressure ion source probe assembly () includes an outer casing assembly () adapted for attachment to an atmospheric pressure ion source chamber of a mass spectrometer and a docking probe () for detachable connection to the outer casing. The arrangement is such that in its docked condition or position the probe extends through, and in sealing engagement with the outer casing. In this docked condition or position, a sample holder () carried by the docking probe () is presented within the ion chamber. When the docking probe is detached from the outer casing the casing can be sealed off relative to the ion source chamber.
