Selected organotin compounds, relating to antifouling paints, have been analysed using a particle beam interface system designed for use on liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) instruments. The resultant mass spectra matched those obtained from conventional electron‐impact (EI) techniques, and consistent data over several injections and different elution times were obtained. Data obtained from tributyltin, dibutyltin, monobutyltin, triphenyltin and diphenyltin (each as the chlorides) are presented. This interface has been shown to maintain sample and therefore spectral integrity for these compounds and is of potential use in further investigations relating to organotin environmental pollution.
