Volatile compounds released by Nalophan; implications to SIFT-MS and other chemical ionisation mass spectrometry analytical methods.

CONCLUSIONS: Using H3 O+ reagent ions for SIFT-MS and SESI-MS analyses, the following analyte ions (m/z values) are affected by the Nalophan impurities: 45, 63, 81, 89, 99, which can compromise analyses of acetaldehyde, ethylene glycol, monoterpenes, acetoin, butyric acid, hexanal and heptane.
