Task 2. Add/Modify Compounds In An Existing Database - Agilent Technologies 6460 Manual

Task 2. Add/Modify compounds in an existing database

You can also manually add compounds to a database and modify the
compounds in the database. In the next task, you create a Triggered Dynamic
MRM method from the compounds in the database.
Steps
1 Review the
iiiSulfamix_dMRM2.m, where iii
are your initials.
2 Start the MassHunter Optimizer
program.
3 Set parameters on the Optimizer
Setup tab.
4 Set parameters on the Precursor
Ion Selection tab.
5 Set parameters on the Product Ion
Selection tab.

f Select the iiiSulfamix_dMRM2.m
method.
a Click the Precursor Ion Selection tab.
b Verify that +H is marked for the
Positive ions (with priorities) list.

Low mass cut-off.
c Enter 60 for the low mass cut-off.
Comments
• A Triggered Dynamic MRM method
is a type of Dynamic MRM method.
The Scan Type for both methods is
Dynamic MRM.
. • If you are optimizing peptides, use
the Optimizer for Peptides program.
• To create low mass product ions
from a precursor ion near 300 m/z,
you need fairly high collision
4 to 48 . energies.
7 .
• On the Product Ion Selection, you
can automatically add up to 4
product ions per compound (for
instance, 2 primaries and 2
secondaries). You want 8 to 10
peaks in the composite spectrum to
prove that this is indicative of the
compound, so you need to add at
least some of the product ions
manually.
