A brief account is given on LC-MS research conducted in the laboratory of Professor Fred W. McLafferty at Cornell University during the 70’s. This pioneer work ended into a commercial interface, the Direct Liquid Introduction (DLI) that was later commercialised by mass spectrometer manufacturers, before being superseded by other systems.
