Hi, is the EI mode in MSD able to detect trace amount of fluorocarbon (carbon compound that has all hydrogen replaced by fluorine)? I heard that fluorocarbons do not get ionised easily.

The compound used for tuning EI GCMS systems is PFTBA. FC43. Heptacosafluorotributylamine. Tris(nonafluorobutyl)amine. Perfluorotributylamine
Take a look at this application note for some examples: an-pfas-in-air-5994-5289en-agilent.pdf
And if you will be attending the ASMS show in Anaheim, CA June 2-6, 2024 make sure and talk to the folks in the Agilent booth.
