RECOMMENDED USAGE OF MASSPREP CALIBRATION MIX – DIOS LOW MASS Waters MassPREP Calibration Mix – DIOS Low Mass is intended for calibration of a MALDI TOF MS instrument used for small molecule detection between m/z 1 and 1500 in reflectron mode.i The mix contains polyethylene glycol (PEG) 200, 600, and 1000 with sodium iodide, rubidium iodide and cesium iodide (NaI, RbI and CsI). This mixture has not been optimized for use in electrospray systems. The following spectrum of the MassPREP Calibration Mix – DIOS Low Mass was processed by baseline subtraction, smoothing, and centroiding in preparation for calibration. Data was obtained on a Waters MALDI micro MX. Figure 1. Mass spectrum of MassPREP Calibration Mix – DIOS Low Mass obtained on a Waters MALDI TOF mass spectrometer (MALDI micro MXTM). Data presented was background subtracted, smoothed and centered in preparation for calibration. i Waters provides DIOS-target Plates for small molecule detection (see part 3.

Apply 1 μL of the mixture onto a clean DIOS-target Plate. III. PREPARATION OF MASSPREP CALIBRATION MIX – DIOS LOW MASS 5. Dry at room temperature before LDI (laser desorption/ionization) analysis. The following methods are provided as a general guideline for preparation on DIOStarget Plates. The described method only serves as a starting point. 6.

STORAGE AND STABILITY Table 1: Calculated masses of selected low mass clusters formed by the mixture of sodium, rubidium, and cesium iodide with polyethylene glycol It is recommended that MassPREP Calibration Mixtures remain in the foil pouch (PEG) oligomers (in the dark) at room temperature until use. Once reconstituted in appropriate solvents, the MassPREP Calibration Mix solution can be used for at least 1 year Mass Identity Comment when stored in the dark at 4 °C. 22.989768 Na sometimes weak 84.911792 Rb - primary primary peak V.
