What MS data acquisition rate is necessary for LPGC-MS?

30 Jul 2025

  1. Make sure you have a scan rate that is adequate to gather seven-eight data points across a one- to two- second wide peak at minimum. Otherwise, you may observe inconsistent peak definition and poor accuracy and precision.
  2. For MS/MS work, you may need to reduce the number of transitions monitored for a given compound to ensure adequate sensitivity.
