Creating an M S Method

The foundation for an optimal MS Method is starting with a mass calibrated Tune (with a date/time

stamp). These are created every time Auto Tune is completed and under normal operating conditions,

they can remain stable and usable for months

The following example shows how to create an MS method that will acquire both a Scan and a SIM for a

given period of time, alternating between the two acquisition modes. For SIM acquisitions, the correct

mass calibrated Tune to optimize for the acquisition will always be the

1k Tune

(with date/time stamp).

For Scan acquisitions on real world samples, selection of the correct mass calibrated Tune depends on

the

. However, if there is any doubt regarding whether the MS

is still properly calibrated, the easiest thing to do is to run a Check Tune to verify that the MS is operating

to specification. If Check Tune indicates that retuning is required, simply run Auto Tune to recalibrate the

system.

scan speed required to get enough sample points to properly profile the chromatographic

To create an MS method:

peak.

Typically, at least 10-15 data points (i.e., in this case, Scans) are required to properly profile a peak, and

the mass range required for the scan is another factor requiring consideration. The user should select

from the

and

10k

Tunes (with date/time stamps) that will best meet the scanning requirements.
