Application Data: Example of Negative Ion Measurement by TFA Removal (2)

Using the desalting tube "Sornak Tube" for LC/MS! The effect of TFA removal allows for signal detection.

When analyzing acidic compounds using reversed-phase partition chromatography, an acidic mobile phase (set to a pH that is at least 2 lower than the pKa of the analyte) may be used to suppress dissociation. Common acidic mobile phases suitable for use in LC/MS include acetic acid, formic acid, and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). While TFA is appropriate for use at low pH, it is believed to cause ionization suppression with nearly 100% probability when detecting the analyte as a negative ion. Using methionine, an amino acid with acidic groups and high polarity, as the sample, TFA was removed from the eluent using a Sorbent tube, and negative ion measurements were conducted.
