No sample (Blank run, LC buffer run) 에서 여러가지 background peaks 가 높게 나오고 있다면 고려해 볼만한 원인입니다.
 
Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) or PEG-Like Materials
■ Description
- Polymer series
■ Sources of PEG
- Organic solvents
- MS calibration solutions
- Hand cream
- Sample detergents
- Glassware (dishwashing detergents)
- Cleaning solutions from manufacturing
Metal ions
■ Sodium and Potassium
■ Iron
- Sources
o Water and acetonitrile
o Acetic acid (lower in formic acid)
o Non-passivated stainless steel parts
■ Nickel
- Source
o Hastelloy C-276 metal used in solvent filters
■ Molybdenum
- Molybdenum adducts of ACN + FA + H2O
- m/z = 240
- Sources
o Hastelloy C-276 metal used in solvent filters
Phthalates
■ Plasticizer
■ Common phthalates include:
o Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) [M+H] = 391
o Diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) [M+H] = 447
o Diisononyl phthalate (DINP) [M+H] = 419
o Diisooctyl phthalate (DIOP) [M+H] = 391
■ Adducts formed for Diisooctyl phthalate (DIOP)
o [M+Na]+ = 413
o [M+K]+ = 429
o [2M+NH4]+ = 798
o [2M+Na]+ = 803
- Phthalic anhydride m/z =149 prevalent fragment observed
■ Sources
o Water and organic solvents that have come in contact with plastics
o Extracted from plastic tubing, water storage containers, vials, caps
o Laboratory air
Siloxanes
■ Siloxanes are
often present in laboratory air. These compounds, which exist in deodorant and other cosmetic products.
■ Airborne phthalates
■ Polysiloxane [O-Si(CH3)2-]n
C-18 column bleed & common air contaminant.
May also come from spray chamber vent.
- [M+H] : 371, 445, 519, 593, 667, 741
