LC/MS interfaces
It has been suggested by several ASMS members that there are three ways to make a spray or aerosol for LC/MS: with a gas, heat, or electricity. Hence the terms: (1) aerospray; (2) thermospray; and (3) electrospray. Under this model:

MAGIC - aerospray Particle Beam - aerospray Thermobeam - aero-thermospray ion spray - aero-electrospray

All this may be a bit "extreme", since it does not closely follow what is in the literature, and excludes APCI. However, this whole issue should be addressed, and a few terms settled on.
