    8. Calibration The MiD has to be calibrated before any sample analyses can be per- formed. Sodium Formate (NaOOCH) is used to calibrate the 4000 MiD. The required solution is 1 mg/mL in 1:1 2-propanol:water. It is recom- mended that the MiD is recalibrated if known m/z or resolution values have shifted, an ion guide or ionchip is replaced or the MiD is moved to a new environment.
