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.
