Ionization Suppression Summary

(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.

Five Ways to Reduce Acetonitrile Consumption

The current global shortage of Acetonitrile has pushed us to find 5 ways to reduce thedependence on Acetonitrile

Option 1: Reduce column ID:

Reducing the HPLC column ID from 4.6 mm to 3.0 mm can result in > 50 % reduction in mobile phase consumption.

Option 2: Reduce particle size and column dimensions:

* Reduces solvent consumption
* Maintains resolution
* Reduces run time

Option 3: Reduce column length:

Option 4: Substitute Acetonitrile with Methanol:

Option 5: Solvent recycling (Isocratic separations only)
