2 - APCI: Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization; for extractable and leachable compounds.

Most Common Precursor Ions

Positive Precursors:

[M+H]+, [M+H-H2O]+, [M+Na]+, [M+2H]2+, [2M+H]+, [M+H-2H2O]+, [M+H-NH3]+, [M+NH4]+, [M-H+2Na]+, [M+K]+, [M+H+K]2+, [M+H+Na]2+, [M+2Na]2+, [M-2H+3Na]+, and others

Negative Precursors:

[M-H]-, [M-2H]2-, [M-H-H2O]-, [M+Cl]-, [M-H-CO2]-, [M+HCO2]-, [2M-H]-, and others

• 77% positive mode, 23% negative mode
• In-source Fragments (58% of the spectra)
• MSn (12% of the spectra)
