Fragmentation factors can be calculated from fragmentation patterns given in the
general references cited in
. Other valuable references
include the Index of Mass Spectral Data from ASTM, and EPA/NIH Mass Spectral
Data Base by Heller and Milne and an extensive library of spectra is available from
the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
lists the fragmentation factors (FF) for the major peaks for selected
substances.
NOTE:
Actual fragmentation factors vary significantly depending especially on the
ionizer, electron energy, and mass filter turning. For best accuracy,
measure fragmentation factors with the same instrument used for the
analysis, under the same tuning conditions.
