With a lower mass error (i.e., better mass accuracy), the observed mass of a compound will dereplicate to a fewer number of candidate compounds in a database of 35,215 natural products (Antibase was used here). On average, there is only a 4.7% gain in dereplication ability by increasing mass accuracy from 10 to 1 ppm.
