Excessive TFA adducts seen on intact protein mass spectra - WKB117940

Article number: 117940

SYMPTOMS

  • TFA adducts affect the resolution of intact protein envelop

ENVIRONMENT

  • Trifuoroacetic acid
  • Intact protein 60–80 kDa
  • ACQUITY UPLC H-Class
  • ACQUITY UPLC I-Class
  • Xevo G2-XS

CAUSE

Likely cause is a dirty sample cone.

FIX or WORKAROUND

From the MS tune page source settings, adjusting the cone gas from 50 L/hour to 200 L/hour should decrease the adduct level in the MS data.
