The use of mass spectra generated at 70 eV in electron ionization (EI) as a universal standard for EI has helped in the generation of searchable library databases and had a profound influence on the analytical applications of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), similarly for liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), suggesting a novel method to normalize the collisional energy for the universalization of fragmentation energy for the analysis of Chemical Weapon Convention (CWC)-related chemicals by atmospheric pressure ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (API-MS(n)) using three-dimensional (3D) ion trap instruments. For normalizing fragmentation energy a "fragmentation energy index" (FEI) is proposed which is an arbitrary scale based on the fact of specific MS/MS fragmentation obtained at different collisional energies for the reference chemicals which are not CWC scheduled compounds. FEI 6 for the generation of an MS(n) library-searchable mass spectral database is recommended.
在电子电离(EI)中使用70 eV下产生的质谱作为EI的通用标准,有助于生成可搜索的库数据库,并对气相色谱/质谱(GC/MS)的分析应用产生了深远影响,同样地,对液相色谱串联质谱(LC-MS/MS)也是如此,这表明了一种新方法,即使用三维(3D)离子阱仪器通过大气压电离串联质谱(API-MS(n))对与《化学武器公约》(CWC)相关化学品分析的碎裂能量进行通用化时,对碰撞能量进行归一化。为了归一化碎裂能量,提出了一个“碎裂能量指数”(FEI),它是基于在不同碰撞能量下针对非CWC管制化合物的参考化学品获得的特定MS/MS碎裂这一事实的任意尺度。建议使用FEI 6来生成MS(n)库可搜索的质谱数据库。
