(1) Compounds That Cause Sensitivity Suppression. -Salts can interfere with ionization and can cluster to complicate spectrum (but also aid in identification). -Strong bases or quaternary amines can interfere with positive mode analytes, e.g. Triethylamine(TFA). -Acid -Sulfuric/Sulfonicacids and TFA interfere in negative mode. -Phosphate buffer and non-volatile ion pairing agents (e.g. SDS) can cause severe suppression and complex spectrum.
(2) Dimerization([2M+H]+) can occur at high concentration, leading to non-linearity during quantitation. -DimerSignal at m/z = (MW*2) + 1. -Can cause non-linearity at high concentrations.
(1) Maybe the collision energy is too LOW. The First MS is not full a fragment. (2) Are you using ESI mode? (3) If the Molecular weight is 237, for SIM -> Here are three characteristic ions (m/z) 164,149,122 I highly recommend them. (4) MS-MS (MRM): Need to search online for the product ion and parent ions. (5) If only need the full scan, why not adjust the concentration of analyte.
