Hello
I need to do an LC/MSMS method for quantification on a compound that doesn't ionize into [M+H]+ (barely observed) but only into [M-H2O+H]+
Is there a problem with doing MS/MS on a [M-H2O+H]+ parent ion ?
(PS: negative ionization is not an…
Hi again Raina,
as I already told you this cannot be done with just one column, especially with the CO2 concentration up to 20% and water included and the necessity to analyze H2. This is an application we normally build an analyzer for. You need at…

Operating like this puts sub-optimal flow into the GCMS ion source of more than 2 ml/min. Please make sure that you have a system with a turbomolecular high vacuum pump and not a diffusion pump as 2 ml/min exceeds the maximum allowable flow into a diffusion…
