“…This might be a trivial issue in case of ionizable polymers, but there are also many apolar products. One of the popular solutions to resolve such problem is addition of alkali metal salts (NaCl, KCl) or AgTFA to the solution (Belu et al, 1996; Hoteling et al, 2020; Iacobucci, 2019). These compounds efficiently cationize apolar molecule to be ionized in the ion source.…”

Mass Spectrometry Reviews

Conservation of historic artifacts has been a multidisciplinary field from its very beginning. Traditionally, it has been and still is associated with the history of art. It applies knowledge from technical and basic sciences, adapting their solutions to its goals. At present, however, a new tendency is clearly emerging—scientific research is starting to play an increasingly important role not only as a service, but also by proposing new solutions both in the traditional conservation areas and in new areas of conservation activities. The above trend opens up new perspectives for the field of preservation of our heritage but may also create new threats. Therefore, the conservators' caution in introducing new technologies should always be justified; after all, they are responsible for the effects of any activities on the historic objects. This, quite selective review, discusses application of mass spectrometry techniques for the detection of various components that are important to the conservators of our heritage with particular focus on paintings. The text also contains some basic knowledge of technical details to introduce the methodology to a broader group of professionals.
