Paper spray (PS) ambient ionization source optimization using S-(−)-verapamil in the positive ion mode under various conditions, which include: (A) with (On) and without (Off) applied voltage gradient. (B) various capillary voltages (Vcap). (C) different distances of PS tip from IM-MS inlet. (D) various drying gas temperatures where the drying gas flow rate was maintained at 5 L/min (top) and flow rates where the drying gas temperature was maintained at 250°C (bottom) on spray time (red triangles) and signal intensity (blue circles).
