EMR mass spectrometer tune settings used in this method

Setting Value Notes
Spray voltage (kV) 0.7–0.8 First increase spray voltage past the recommended range, then gradually decrease it until a stable signal is observed.
Capillary temperature (°C) 250
S-Lens RF level (V) 200
Injection flatapole DC (V) 12
Bent flatapole DC (V) 10
Inter flatapole lens (V) 8
HCD direct eV (V) 1 Higher HCD voltages can be used for fragmentation and for de-adducting.
Inject time (ms) 200
Microscans 2
Scan range (m/z) 1,000–10,000
Resolution (at 200 m/z) 8,750 Adjust to higher resolution to resolve isotopic peaks.
Trapping gas pressure 4–6 Use larger values to improve higher m/z transmission.
