Abstract
In the multiclass, multiresidue analysis of pesticides in food and environmental samples, pyrethroid insecticides are generally more difficult to analyze than other types of analytes. They do not ionize well by electrospray ionization, and although they are suitable for analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), selectivity using standard electron ionization (EI) in GC-MS is often insufficient because the molecular ion is rarely present. Many pyrethroids tend to have the same fragment ions in MS or high-resolution (HR)MS, and similar ion transitions in tandem MS/MS, leading to difficulties in distinguishing different pyrethroids from each other and chemical interferences in complex matrices. In this study, different forms of fast GC coupled with different types of MS detectors were compared for the analysis of up to 15 pyrethroids in barley extracts as a test case to assess which approach was the most advantageous. The three studied GC-MS techniques consisted of Cold EI using supersonic molecular beams in selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode with a single quadrupole instrument; triple quadrupole MS/MS; and HRMS using an orbital ion trap (orbitrap). A higher flow rate was used in Cold EI, and low pressure (LP) GC was employed in the MS/MS and orbitrap methods, to speed up the GC analyses (<10 min chromatograms in all cases). Each technique had some advantages over the others depending on specific pyrethroid analytes in the matrix. Nontargeted LPGC-orbitrap typically yielded the highest selectivity, but it rarely achieved the needed detectability to quantidentify the residues at 10 ng g-1. Cold EI-SIM and LPGC-MS/MS usually met the needed detection limits and generally achieved similar capabilities for the targeted pyrethroids.

Abstract
GC-MS with Cold EI improves all of the central GC-MS performance aspects, but it is known mostly for its provision of enhanced molecular ions. This occasionally leads to the misconception that, like chemical ionization, Cold EI is a supplementary ion source to standard EI. However, Cold EI is a highly superior replacement ion source to standard EI. While Cold EI mass spectra are the most informative and fully compatible with mass spectral library (such as NIST) identification, in some cases, the Cold EI mass spectra with their enhanced molecular ions result in a "picture" that is not as one is used to seeing. In this paper, we describe the "Cool Classical EI" mode, which produces classical EI mass spectra like standard EI. The change of Cold EI into the Cool Classical EI mode is software-based, requires no hardware change, and can be achieved even during the analysis. Several mass spectra that were obtained in the Cool Classical EI mode are presented and compared with standard EI and Cold EI mass spectra. In this paper we further demonstrate and discuss several benefits that Cold EI brings that are retained while using Cool Classical EI, including (a) much faster speed of analysis, (b) uniform response, (c) extended range of compounds amenable for analysis, (d) improved sample identification, (e) elimination of ion source related peak tailing, (f) elimination of intraion-source degradation, and (g) better signal-to-noise ratio of the sample compounds.

Abstract
Aliphatic hydrocarbons (HCs) are usually analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) or matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry. However, analyzing long-chain HCs by GC is difficult because of their low volatility and the risk of decomposition at high temperatures. MALDI cannot distinguish between isomeric HCs. An alternative approach based on silver ion high-performance liquid chromatography (Ag-HPLC) is shown here. The separation of HC standards and cuticular HCs was accomplished using two ChromSpher Lipids columns connected in series. A gradient elution of the analytes was optimized using mobile phases prepared from hexane (or isooctane) and acetonitrile, 2-propanol, or toluene. HCs were detected by atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (APCI-MS). Good separation of the analytes according to the number of double bonds, cis/trans geometry, and position of double bonds was achieved. The retention times increased with the number of double bonds, and trans isomers eluted ahead of cis isomers. The mobile phase significantly affected the mass spectra of HCs. Depending on the mobile phase composition, deprotonated molecules, molecular ions, protonated molecules, and various solvent-related adducts of HCs were observed. The optimized Ag-HPLC/APCI-MS was applied for characterizing cuticular HCs from a flesh fly, Neobellieria bullata, and cockroach, Periplaneta americana. The method made it possible to detect a significantly higher number of HCs than previously reported for GC or MALDI-MS. Unsaturated HCs were frequently detected as isomers differing by double-bond position(s). Minor HCs with trans double bonds were found beside the prevailing cis isomers. Ag-HPLC/APCI-MS has great potential to become a new tool in chemical ecology for studying cuticular HCs.

Abstract
GC-MS usually employs a 70 eV electron ionization (EI) ion source, which provides mass spectra with detailed fragment ion information that are amenable for library search and identification with names and structures at the isomer level. However, conventional EI often suffers from low intensity or the absence of molecular ions, which reduces detection and identification capabilities in analyses. In an attempt to enhance the molecular ions, several softer ion sources are being used to supplement standard EI, including chemical ionization (CI), atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI), field ionization (FI), photoionization (PI), and low electron energy EI. However, the most advantageous way to enhance molecular ions is to use cold EI, which employs 70 eV EI of cold molecules in supersonic molecular beams. Cold EI yields classical EI mass spectra with highly enhanced molecular ions, which still provides high detectability and library-searchable mass spectra. In this paper, we explain and discuss why cold EI is not a supplementary ion source to standard EI, but rather it is a highly superior replacement to standard EI. With cold EI, there is no need for standard EI or any other supplemental ion source. We describe 16 benefits and unique features of cold EI that not only yield better results for existing applications but also significantly extend the range of compounds and applications amenable for GC-MS analysis.

Abstract
A new type of photoionization ion source was developed for the ionization of cold molecules in supersonic molecular beams (named Cold PI). The system was based on a GC-MS with supersonic molecular beams and its fly-through EI of cold molecules ion source (Cold EI) plus quadrupole mass analyzer. A continuously operated deuterium VUV photoionization lamp was added and placed above and between the supersonic nozzle and skimmer whereas the Cold EI ion source served only as a portion of the ion transfer ion optics. The supersonic nozzle and skimmer were voltage biased and the VUV light crossed the supersonic expansion about 10 mm from the nozzle. We obtained over three orders of magnitude enhancement in the relative abundance of the molecular ion of squalane in Cold PI versus in photoionization of this compound as a thermal compound. Accordingly, we also proved that standard photoionization is not as soft ionization method as previously perceived for large compounds. We found that Cold PI is as soft as and possibly softer than field ionization; thus, it could be the softest known ionization method. The ionization yield was about 200-300 times weaker than with Cold EI yet our limit of detection was about 200 femtogram in SIM mode for cholesterol and pyrene which is reasonable. Practically, all hydrocarbons gave only molecular ions with rather uniform response whereas alcohols gave some molecular ions plus major fragment ions particularly with a loss of water (similarly to field ionization). We tested Cold PI in the GC-MS analysis of diesel fuels and analyzed the time averaged data for group type information. We also found that we can analyze the diesel fuels by fast under 20-s flow injection analysis in which the generated averaged mass spectrum of molecular ions only could serve for the characterization of fuels.

Abstract
We report the finding of doubly charged molecular ions in a range of relatively large molecules including hydrocarbons upon their electron ionization as vibrationally cold molecules in supersonic molecular beams (SMB) (also named as Cold EI). Furthermore, we also report the detection by mass spectrometry of triply charged molecular ions in large PAHs such as decacyclene and ovalene upon their cooling in SMB. We found that the relative abundance of doubly charged molecular ions strongly depends on the internal vibrational cooling. While after some vibrational cooling the fragmentation pattern became cooling independent, the relative abundance of the doubly charged molecular ions was noticeably increased upon further cooling via increasing of the cooling make-up gas flow rate. In addition, the relative abundance of the doubly charged molecular ions was strongly increased with the compounds' size, and its electron energy threshold was lower than expected. These observations indicate a new mechanism that involves two separate electron ionization processes in the same compound, most likely with the same electron but at two separate atoms (places) in large molecules, to reduce Coulombic repulsion energy that can lead to fragmentation into two singly charged ions. These findings are shedding new light on electron ionization mass spectra. Accordingly, electron ionization mass spectra are the result of three separate mechanisms with relative magnitudes that depend on the compound size: (a) single electron ionization; (b) double electron ionization; and (c) single electron ionization with subsequent internal excitation by the same ionizing electron in another place.

The pre-separation of oxygen containing compounds in oxidised heavy paraffinic fractions and their identification by GC-MS with supersonic molecular beams.

Abstract
The heavy petroleum fractions produced during refining processes need to be upgraded to useable products to increase their value. Hydrogenated heavy paraffinic fractions can be oxidised to produce high value products that contain a variety of oxygenates. These heavy oxygenated paraffinic fractions need to be characterised to enable the control of oxidation processes and to understand product properties. The accurate identification of the oxygenates present in these fractions by electron ionisation (EI) mass spectrometry is challenging due to the complexity of these heavy fractions. Adding to this challenge is the limited applicability of EI mass spectral libraries due to the absence of molecular ions from the EI mass spectra of many oxygenates. The separation of oxygenates from the complex hydrocarbon matrix prior to high temperature GC-MS (HT-GC-MS) analysis reduces the complexity of these fractions and assists in the accurate identification of these oxygenates. Solid phase extraction (SPE) and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) were employed as prefractionation techniques. GC-MS with supersonic molecular beams (SMBs) (also named GC-MS with cold-EI) utilises a SMB interface with which EI is done with vibrationally cold sample compounds in a fly-through ion source (cold-EI) resulting in a substantial increase in the molecular ion signal intensity in the mass spectrum. This greatly enhances the accurate identification of the oxygenates in these fractions. This study investigated the ionisation behaviour of oxygenated compounds using cold-EI. The prefractionation by SPE and SFC and the subsequent analysis with GC-MS with cold-EI were applied to an oxygenated heavy paraffinic fraction.

Abstract
RATIONALE Cold EI is defined as electron ionization of cold molecules in supersonic molecular beams (SMB). Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) with Cold EI provides informative mass spectra, which combine the usual library-searchable EI fragment ions with enhanced molecular ions for improved library-based identification probabilities. However, in some cases, such as in the analysis of complex petrochemical matrices, a soft ionization method that provides only molecular ions is desirable. METHODS GC/MS with Cold EI was used with a fly-through ion source at selected electron energies, including at low electron energies, in an attempt to observe molecular ions alone. RESULTS We explored low electron energy Cold EI and found that once the sample compound is cooled by the supersonic expansion it can be reheated via reflected scattered helium atoms near the skimmer. Furthermore, once a labile molecular ion is formed it can undergo undesirable collision-induced dissociation (CID) in the same way as in tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), and the magnitude of such CID can be significant for labile molecular ions such as those of hydrocarbons. In order to reduce these adverse effects we reduced the helium pressure at the ion source and MS vacuum chamber by increasing the nozzle-skimmer distance. Cold EI at low electron energies was explored with a squalane isomer (C30 H62 ) and with n-C24 H50 . CONCLUSIONS It was found that an increased nozzle-skimmer distance resulted in a noticeable increase in the abundance ratio of molecular ions to low mass fragment ions. Consequently, Cold EI at low electron energies and a large nozzle-skimmer distance converts EI into Soft Cold EI while further approaching the ideal of a molecular ion only ionization method.
