Keywords: ambient ionization techniques; mass spectrometry; desorption electrospray ionization; desorption atmospheric pressure photoionization; thin layer chromatography; lipids, mass spectrometry imaging Ambient ionization technique in mass spectrometry is an ionization, which carries out in open space outside the machine and which does not require any, or only a minimal sample pretreatment. DESI (desorption electrospray ionization) and DAPPI (desorption atmospheric pressure photoionization) equipped with software control of the spray emitter position for analysis of low molecular organic compounds were investigated in this thesis. These methods use a spray of solvents for desorption and ionization molecules from solid substrate. Conditions for the successful analysis of phospholipids, wax esters and some other compounds were developed. Ambient ionization techniques were quantitatively compared. The application was HPTLC/DESI-MS of lipid's mixture and HPTLC/DAPPI-MS of vernix caseosa. DAPPI-MS was applied for the analysis of termites of Prorhinotermes genus (Isoptera, Rhinotermitidae). Pilot experiments of two dimensional analysis and mass spectrometry imaging were realized.
