APPI, APCI, and Dual APPI/APCI Modes
APPI mode
In atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI) mode, the source is fitted
with an APCI probe, and the APPI lamp drive assembly is advanced into the
source.

APPI mode
The APCI probe introduces vaporized sample into the source where photons
generated by an ultra-violet (UV) lamp (mounted in the APPI lamp drive
assembly) produce sample ions. Direct photoionization of a sample molecule
occurs when the photon energy exceeds the ionization potential of the sample
molecule.
A repeller electrode (mounted on the APPI lamp drive assembly) deflects and
focuses the sample ions towards the sample cone.
