Direct Analysis in Real Time (DART)

The DART negative-ion reagent mass spectra are virtually identical for nitrogen, neon and helium. However, negative-ion sensitivity increases for DART gases in the following order:

nitrogen < neon < helium

This is due to the increased efficiency in forming electrons by Penning ionisation and surface Penning ionisation as the internal energy of the metastable species increases.
