Article number: 315460

SYMPTOMS

When you create a new MRM method in MassLynx SCN 1050, the collision energy is not saved
The value for collision energy looks like it is accepted, but when the saved method is reopened, the Collision (V) box is empty
Collision energy is recorded as 0.00 if the method is printed
Collision energy is saved for Parent or Daughter scans
Comments entered in the MRM method channels are not displayed in the method editor, but they are saved in the method

Bug in the software - CRI-9019 raised

This is fixed in SCN1051 (667007867DD)
Workaround available but not recommended: Add Formula column in the registry:
Close MassLynx.
Open the registry editor (regedit).
Browse to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Micromass\MethodEditor\MS EditorMRM.
Select Binary Data "Column Width(7)" and add a value (for example, 95).
Close the registry editor.
Open MassLynx and the MS method editor.
Create a method from "New".
A column titled "Formula/Neutral" appears.
Values specified in this Formula column are used as the Collision Energy.
NOTE: The software still requires a value to be specified in the "Collision (V)" box, but it is not used.
