(a) Explain the purpose of the dynamic reaction cell inFigure 21-30.(b) In geologic strontium isotopic analysis, there is isobaric interference betweenand . A dynamic reaction cell with CH3Fconverts Sr+ to SrF+ but does not convertRb+to RbF+. Howdoes this reaction eliminate interference?
Explain what is meant by spectral, chemical, ionization, and isobaric interference.
The molecular ion region in the mass spectrum of a large molecule, such as a protein, consists of a cluster of peaks differing by 1 Da. This pattern occurs because a molecule with many atoms has a high probability of containing one or several atoms of and . In fact, the probability of finding a molecule with only and may be so small that the nominal molecular ion is not observed. The electrospray mass spectrum of the rat protein interleukin-8 consists of a series of clusters of peaks arising from intact molecular ions with different charge. One cluster has peaks at m/z 1 961.12, 1 961.35, 1 961.63, 1 961.88, 1 962.12 (tallest peak), 1 962.36, 1 962.60, 1 962.87, 1 963.10, 1 963.34, 1 963.59, 1 963.85, and 1 964.09. These peaks correspond to isotopic ions differing by 1 Da. From the observed peak separation, fi nd the charge of the ions in this cluster. From m/z of the tallest peak, estimate the molecular mass of the protein.
(a) To detect the drug ibuprofen by liquid chromatography– mass spectrometry, would you choose the positive or negative ion mode for the spectrometer? Would you choose acidic or neutral chromatography solvent? State your reasons.
