Calibration Solution Peak Values
The mass spectra of the EMRS in positive and negative ion polarity modes ( Figure 32 and
Figure 33 , respectively) have peaks at m/z values close to the following theoretical values.

IMPORTANT If you observe interfering peaks in the EMRS spectrum that are within
±10 Da of any of these calibration masses, follow the procedure “Flushing the Inlet
Components,” on page 47 . Ensure that the interfering masses show less than 25 percent
of the intensity of the calibrant ions.
