Abstract
An interface and a sample analysis method using the same are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, an interface is between a liquid chromatography (LC), an ionization device, and a mass spectrometer (MS), wherein a sample containing a target eluted from the liquid chromatography is ionized by the ionization device and the sample is introduced into the mass spectrometer, wherein the interface includes a droplet sprayer, an evaporator having a heatable block, and an introduction tube, wherein the heatable block has one or more openings, the droplet sprayer for converting the sample into sample droplets and for spraying the sample droplets, the evaporator for evaporating a solvent in the sample droplets to generate a gaseous target by passing the droplets through the one or more openings, the introduction tube for receiving the gaseous target and for introducing an ionized gaseous target into the mass spectrometer.
