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.
